You might want to learn how recruiting rankings work before posting garbage.

That is how the recruiting rankings work. Your top 20 players are what you are given points for.

If a team signs 20players, then they all count towards your ranking.

If a team signs 30 players, then the 10 worst ranked players don't count towards your ranking.

So yes, signing more players helped our class ranking, because it's saying our top 20 kids, were better than their top 20 kids

No. Fla won't beat us this year, in spite of us fans playing the B**ch role we have become used to. Time to change attitudes KB. Past is just that.

I gotta see it first Grow. The last quarter century of constantly losing to the Gators has me quite jaded and less than optimistic about our chances vs them. At this point, gotta see it before I can just change my admittedly poor attitude with regards to us beating Florida.

Florida will win a lot of games this year, hate to say it. Last year everything went wrong and that won't happen again.

This much is obvious, the only real question to me is how good will they be? Do they win the East? How many games do they win? I'm saying 8-4, just enough for Muschamp to keep his job.

Whatever happens, whatever their record winds up being, we all know one certain win you can chalk up for Florida.

Keep in mind that UT beat FL in recruiting because UT signed more players. Doesn't mean that they signed better players and only 11 can play at a time.

I'm willing to bet we got just as much talent in the 2014 class as u. Plus we have depth so while u all are sucking wind the second half we will be rotating in fresh, reliable bodies.

I'm not going to get into the running back debate and will address what was originally posed.

I think the rbs and wr's will be fine for Florida. The question is the offensive line and Driskel. Then beyond the quality of play, the question is can both units stay healthy.
Click to expand...

It appears Driskel had a good day yesterday. Now the question is how well your O line can protect him and how well he responds to the defense getting into the backfield to pressure him. Will be play more cautious this year and attempt to keep from getting injured again?

Florida will not win over 8 games this year. I really think 7 wins is the number. I think that because Muschamp is a twit. I sure hope they win enough to keep him for a couple more years though.

Most of the predictions I've seen from research of the so called experts have fla 7-5. Those same ones have Tenn 6-6. I'm talking about Athlon sports, bleacher report, cbs sports, fox sports, etc.
Most of our fans on here I think have been reasonable and predicted around that. My point was from the site I went to I think fla fans average prediction was 10-2 or better.

Thus dream land.

Gator, I know you said you have heard several experts say fla wins 10+. Who are they? I know Cowherd says we will beat Bama. Just saw that Butch Jones is predicted to be coach of the year, don't think you get that going 6-6 IMO, so they must think we will do better.

Phil Steele predicted 10-2 and SEC Network predicted 9-3. Not that I agree with either personally, but there are plenty of "experts" predicting a bounce back season in Gainesville...not just those delusional Gator message boards.

As for UT's RB situation, if Hurd is already better than Lane, then there's cause for optimism here.

I often wondered why Lane didn't play more instead of Neal the past couple seasons.

Injuries. They complimented each other well though.

I understand, it seems a reasonable prediction. The so called experts are wrong more often than not. I just think, that even if everything is going well, Muschamp will find a way to monkey wrench it. He reminds me of neuheisel to much.

I can think of three almost certain losses, Bama, SC, and FSU. It's very likely that they lose to LSU too.

They did indeed.

I always felt like Lane was a bigger home run threat.
Click to expand...

As discussed earlier, different styles of play. Lane is a bruiser that's not afraid to run over someone to get an extra yard or two. Neal was finesse that had some good footwork and breakout speed in the open field.

How many yards Lane gets this year will be entirely dependent on the O Line and what kind of gaps they can create. But I'd be surprised if it's anything less than 800 if not a grand.

I concur, Lane is was better than Neal but he has had attitude problems in the past. Hopefully, he has matured for his senior season.

9 wins is reasonable, but 10 is dream land?

I recently heard because of his poor history of conditioning and of course, injuries. Would seem to make sense as the two could go hand in hand.

I think 8 is reasonable. Anything over that is chancy at best.

I'm looking objectively here at your schedule.

Idaho - W
E Michigan - W
Kentucky - W
Bama - L
UT - W (homer prediction, but we're due and at home)
LSU - L
Mizzou - W
UGA - tossup
Vandy - W
USC - tossup
E Kentucky - W
FSU - L

Of the UGA/USC games, you'll win one, lose one. However, 9 isn't outside the realm of possibility if you pull both the UGA and USC games. 10 is dreaming meaning you'll beat LSU, Bama or FSU.

It's not negativity, it's fact. We've lost 9 in a row to Florida, Vandy beat em last year.
Click to expand...

Vandy also thrived under the fact that our program was down and UGA/UF suffered from serious injuries.

And they will get curb stomped by the aforementioned programs this year.

We're playing Florida at home, have a team that believes in their coach, extremely talented players returning and freshmen that are dazzling so far. And we're due.

I think 8 wins is the ceiling with our schedule.

I also think barring injuries UF gets it done again in Knoxville.
