    We play four teams with more talent that we have, so Napier's staff better come though and teach the schemes... technique... and the fundamentals that our players have been starving for. It's up to these four new defensive coaches to help push our talent over the top...

    So what? I can live with Norvell's biggest get being a player Billy never gave the time of day when that player announced for the portal, yet again. I hope you don't seriously believe that all staffs are equally adept at making player evals or that anyone here is seriously banking on some preseason guestimate put out by a recruiting site.

    Just stating how this is a very skewed list that doesn't update with the current level of player. Only by a eval at the time of their HS ranking. Should be updated, it can easily be done they already have portal rankings.

    Georgia played their second string throughout and still pounded FSU. The Vandy we destroyed last year? We also lost to Villanova in 1946? What does either of those scenarios have to do with Florida this season? Miami and FSU have looked dire in their recent season with players they will rely on this year. Why would a SEC hardened team give them any props? For that matter why should you unless you just love to troll?

    I sent him to the cornfield after I took a closer look at his avatar. It's a shot of a young kid in cane gear flashing the U signal. No wonder his hide was chapped by that 247 roster ranking. Cane fans apparently don't like having their pipedream of a dynasty level roster deflated by a comparative assessment of talent currently on hand. If they get this wound up by a 247 story, how are they going to react if UF hands them their hat to them in front of millions. PS: He's really young so I refrained from being sharper with him than I might otherwise have been. Being ugly to kids is out of bounds. Putting them in timeout when they become persistently annoying is not.

    Those 5* freshmen that pump tgat ranking up aren’t going to help much this year. Paper yes but not on tge field.

    So the Gators have more talent than Michigan, ole Miss and Tennessee? I don't buy it, but it puts even more pressure on Napier if true.

    Good point. The more I see and hear about this UF squad, the less apprehensive I become. The energy and atmosphere in that weightroom and in fall practice is at a different level. More importantly, the level of talent and depth on this roster is the best we've seen in years. For the moment, I'm still at the 7-5/8-4 range, prediction wise. But I really like the HBC's prediction of 9-3 if we can take Miami convincingly and avoid serious injuries. Eight days and counting. GG! Crush Miami!

    I think they do take newly rated transfer ratings into account. What they aren’t factoring is the experience level as you see teams starting to take advantage of an older roster like Washington did to make it to the Championship Game last year.

    You have every right to panic, Noles. You discovered the Emporer has no clothes.

    Time to revisit this. Again those specific 247 roster where it takes into account HS recruiting rankings and not updated rankings of transfer portal players is awful. Those two teams rosters aren't close there might be not more than 3-4 UF players that get one snap on Miami's team.

    Qb? No
    RB? No
    Wr? Maybe Wilson
    TE? No
    OL? No
    DL? No
    LB? No
    Db? Maybe?

    I kind of feel as though we might not have enough talent to bull rush between the tackles on third and long. Might want to try something more modern - even from the eighties or nineties.
