Florida goes undefeated and wins the NC. Tennessee wins them all except the Florida game and gets an at large bid to the SugarBowl where they stomp on a midmajor who went undefeated and made it to a BCS bowl. Tennessee will have the best defense in the SEC.

I agree with you expect one thing, i think florida has 1 or 2 losses, but thats your opinion.

UT upsets UF in K'ville to win the SEC East, and beats Auburn for the SEC title. UF loses to UT, UGA and is upset by fsu, and ends up in a minor bowl.

In the first game of the year against Hawaii, Tebow runs around the corner, out of bounds, and right over June Jones.

Florida handles UT next year, in all probability. Think about it -- Florida has almost everyone of significance back and you lose your senior leader QB. Florida's defense should be markedly improved. Florida will finally have a true RB to add to the weaponry.

They beat you this year by a lopsided score (that may have been exaggerated by the letdown factor once the game was out of reach for UT). Anything can happen and none of us knows what the injury factor will be or how the new QB will play, but projecting now that UT will beat UF simply makes no sense.

I agree with law, anything can happen, but projecting UT to beat Florida right now makes no sense. Florida was better than UT this year, they have all the parts that beat UT back, and UT must replace the most important position on the field.

The game is in Knoxville, so I'd say it's a toss up.

Exactly. By mid-August I am sure people will have come up with some legitimate grounds to argue that UT ought to fare better against UF than this year, some of which may be accurate and some of which will be the product of wishful thinking.

But, at this point in time, other than noting home field advantage, pretty much every other grounds listed as a reason to be hopeful for UT would be wishful thinking.

How much will you bitch and complain when Moody proves to be no better than Moore?

who's to say Tennessee isn't going to be much much more improved next year. Our defense gets stronger, our oline should improve, our receivers improve, our rbs should only get better. Florida doesn't get significantly better. Being in Knoxville gives UT a lot more than just a fighting chance. If UT gets to Tebow early, the game is over early.

Good one.


I can promise you Moody will be in Meyer's doghouse halfway through the season.

agreed. if the guy couldn't beat out washington (mediocre at best), johnson (injured in spring), and mcknight (injured in spring and a freshman) during spring ball at USC why would he be a star at florida? that and the fact the kid is a lousy receiver which you think would be needed at RB for florida.

that and the fact that carroll apparently didn't like his attitude. this from a team that regurally plays guys who have stabbed and assaulted people.

There is reason to be worried about his attitude, to be sure. I am just hoping that the year off has given him a little perspective and that he'll see that the presence of all of those other stars around him will be what gives him a chance to actually be successul. I mean, with Tebow and Harvin and a handful of other receivers, there ought to be plenty of opportunity for Moody to break some big runs as the defenses will be spread so thin.

I see at least 5 losses on that schedule. Especially if the defense doesn't get its act together.

UGA would appear to be the toughest game. Hawaii stinks, and we all know it deep down. Miami is a shadow of a shell of their former selves. They suck. LSU will be good, as usual, but they lose quite a bit and have to come to Gainesville. UT, well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. FSU is now in complete freefall. It'll take them 4 years after Fisher offiically takes over to come back and that isn't going to happen in the next 365 days, anyway.

The offense at Florida has not been a problem, although now with a better running game we can control the clock a bit better, I think. We can score points. With an even marginally better defense, we ought to be able to beat everyone on that schedule fairly handily.

Remember, our three losses were by a total of 19 points. We were darn close as is and with all that freshman and sophomore talent becoming upper classmen, Florida is primed for a major run.
