Lol... it will make beating these coaches and their sorry schools even sweeter. I guess they would rather lose to an unranked team than one they ranked ahead of time.
The clowns are trendy, smh. Coaches Poll top 25 reactions: Alabama, USC overrated, Florida State underrated in preseason rankings
Another article that bashes us more than any other team: MSN 1. Why on god's green earth is Florida almost cracking the top 25 at No. 28??? I understand Florida is an SEC blue-blood and a major college football brand, but the Gators shouldn't be anywhere close to a top-25 team. Though they did not crack the top 25, they were the third-highest team receiving votes, in the same neighborhood as Iowa, South Carolina, UTSA and Pittsburgh. All four of these teams have played considerably better the last two years over UF. No, this is not an indictment on Billy Napier, but rather the athletic department as a whole. Florida should continually be fielding a top-15 team, challenging Georgia every year down in Jacksonville for divisional, and going forward, conference supremacy. I could be proven wrong, but they are at-best a fifth-place team in the SEC East that will duking it out with Missouri and Vanderbilt in 2023. Florida being ranked right behind South Carolina and ahead of Kentucky makes next to no sense…
