    We have to play 4 of the top 6 teams in today’s AP poll yet this year. Both teams that have beaten us are in this week’s top 25 also.
    A lot can happen during the course of a season but, our team has a lot of young players and the hope, with me anyway, is that we improve.
    I am as disheartened as anyone about this season thus far but I still think if our players keep positive, (not easy to do when so many of your own fans see nothing but failure ahead), there’s always a chance.
    UCF is the most important game of the year for us because it is the next game. Hope we use the extra week to our advantage. Go Gators.

    1 more win. UCF is about as close to a win as we'll get and that's not a given. Kentucky might not have the offense like they had the last 2 seasons, but the defense is elite. Getting on average a pick every game. Currently ranked 6th overall. We still will end up playing 6 of the Top 12 best defenses. That's out of 8 games left.

    Their defense didn't lose that game, the offense did. Defense held USCe to 250 yards, but the turnovers doomed Kentucky in addition to USCe having a pretty good defense too, currently ranked 20th. Our defense ranks dead last over the past 16 games in turnovers, so don't expect a pick 6 nor 2 Ints in one game.

    If you look at it objectively, there are four more winnable games. That isn’t to say it will happen, but it could. ESPN prediction tool has us favored against UK and FSU. It also has UCF at 59.9% chance to beat us and LSU at 59.1%. To me, they’re all toss ups. If our defense can figure out how to stop the run on this bye week, then with our secondary four more is definitely possible. Then, just like JMU vs UNC or Appt St. vs Meatchicken, true anomalies are always possible. Realistically, we probably win 2-3 more this season. Some of our opponents are really bad too. Enjoy the wins and support the players. GO GATORS!

    I don’t see another win on the schedule.

    This is the worst Gator defense in history.

    1 or 2 more wins is probably the right answer. 0 or 3 aren't out of the realm of possibility. We'll be both lucky and unlucky each for a couple of our remaining games. If luck works out in our favor, I think we could end up 5-7. If we get unlucky at the wrong times, 2-10 is staring us right in the face.

    No one said it was infallible guy, relax. It’s an unbiased tool that has minimal information at the beginning of the season.

    Did it? I thought Miami was favored by about 3 points and aTm was something similar? Maybe I was looking at Vegas odds.
