UF's schedule next season sets up pretty poorly for them and for McElwain's first year on the job.
They get New Mexico State right out of the gate, which should be a win. But then they have East Carolina, which is always a good team and will be looking for revenge after losing a close one to the Gators in the Birmingham Bowl.
Then they play @ UK, which will have a better team than the one that narrowly missed beating the Gators in the Swamp last season. Revenge will factor in there as well.
Then we head to the Swamp, and well....we SHOULD win that game but who knows.
Then a stretch of Ole Miss, Missouri, LSU, and UGA.
There's a decent chance UF starts 2015 1-7 or 2-6. They get a break with Vandy after UGA, so that's another win, then South Carolina (away game), Florida Atlantic, and FSU at home.
UF's ceiling next year is 6-6 IMO, and they could be as bad as 3-9 or 4-8.
