They better find a way to win some home games if they want to make it: vs Ole Miss, Kentucky and South Carolina.
Does anyone have Bamas metrics compared to ours? Looking at their scheudle they can't be much better against Q1 than UF. I could be overlooking someone but it looks like USCe and Auburn are their best wins. They have lost to every ranked team they have played otherwise. Clemson is a good loss, but that Ohio state loss is not. Purdue, Creighton, Arizona was a heck of a stretch of games earlier this year, lost all 3 games.

I'm interested also in how South Carolina plays out, because there is a pretty big discrepancy between the metrics and where they're being placed in brackets. See them mostly around a 4/5, think Palm has them as a 3. Yet they are way down at 45 in the Net Rankings. They've only played 5 Q1 games and have a Q3 loss.
The conference standings could def change significantly before season end. Bama still has A&M, UF, @UK, @ole miss, Tennessee, @UF. I like our remaining schedule more and more compared to some others. I think it's very likely we get one from Bama.
From Jerry Palm: The Gators are now 2-7 against Quad 1 teams, but only one team has been an at-large team in the quadrant era (since 2018) with a record that poor against the top tier. That was Notre Dame (2-8) in 2022, which was the last team in the field.
Why are you surprised that we moved out of the same category we were in previously when the last 3 games include wins over #10 UK on the road, and #12 Auburn. You think that beating those opponents warrants zero upward movement? They also won 5 of the last 6 games.
and probably addition by subtraction with the portal. a quick looks shows 4 transfers in and 6 out, I believe
Yes I expected upwards movement from being out or near out to being last 4 in or last 4 bye. Wasn’t expecting the 2 wins to get us off the bubble.
We weren’t out, we were previously last 4 bye. Still bubble, but not out. It would make sense after these two impressive wins to move up considerably. We could drop just as easily with two bad losses.
We have a home game against Mizzou and two games home and home versus Vandy so we have plenty of chances to drop a few bad losses. Not thinking we will, but every game one at a time.
