Gators 2023 Schedule

[RDU VOL#14]

Just wanted to get some thoughts on Florida’s 2023 schedule . I don’t see Florida being favored in a game after Vandy on October 7th. Maybe versus Arkansas, but if the last game Florida wins is October 7 vs Vandy, does Napier survive?

Preemptive 0-12

If we finally end the swamp losing streak, I see Florida winning 5 games this year.

I think we should win, but it’s still us and still Florida. We damn near gave it away last season . I think they lose to Utah, tossup w/ UK, beat Vandy and then I don’t know. USCjr will have that game circled after the beat down they took last year. Arkansas has the better quarterback, LSU should be the better team and for some reason Mizzou gives Florida fits and it’s up there in late November. FSU will be preseason top 5-10. Wins in October and November will be hard to come by.

With the Utah game being the first UF out of state non-conference game in more than 30 years, will enough players/coaches/staff/fans find their way home afterward to continue the season?

Don't really care!

 

[VolPack22]

I’ll say 4-8.

 

[ETV]

7-5. That schedule is heavy on the back end, so whatever wins they accumulate need to come early.

Cool. Thanks for clicking on thread and letting us all know.

Some of y’all really do think uniforms win football games.

Tennessee will beat Florida. It won’t be particularly close.

Their uniforms have beaten us a lot in the last 20 years. We've had the better team numerous times.

No they haven't and no we haven't. But we like to tell ourselves that we were better. Florida had better coaching and better talent.

This isn't the 2013 Vols vs. the 2013 Gators. It's Heupel's Tennessee vs. Napier's Florida. And Heupel's team doesn't give a rat's ass what happened in 2013.

I don't have an answer to OP's question. But I do have an observation.

I would like to see UT have a permanent neutral site game. UF plays 6 home, 5 away, and 1 neutral. That is an advantage which improves records over the long haul. UT could argue we play an defacto home game every other year against Vandy. But UF gets one of their biggest and most important games as a neutral site game. That helps them.
We should be looking into that as well. Maybe Bama in Atlanta, or something.

How is that an advantage?

 

[McDad]

How is that an advantage?

How is what an advantage....How is a neutral site advantageous?

 

[hog88]

How is what an advantage....How is a neutral site advantageous?

Yes, how is an annual neutral site rivalry game an advantage?

 

[McDad]

Yes, how is an annual neutral site rivalry game an advantage?

Now that you ask, I realize it may not be. Advantage on the away years when they would play in Athens. Disadvantage when they don't get to play in front of 90k fans at home.
Whatever boost they miss at home is offset by whatever burden avoided by not playing at UGA.

My only chance to salvage a bad notion is found in assessing whether a home field advantage has precisely the same impact as an away game disadvantage.

That's a tough OOC schedul. Obviously GA didn't follow suit.
