    Interesting that we're ahead of Kentucky to start.
    Would really like to see that series turned around.

    Feels like it's been forever since we've been ranked preseason. I went back and looked, 2019.

    Obviously biased, but with the experience on this team and likely the best backcourt in the SEC, I just don't see how Florida is 6th in the SEC. I think the people who made that list are just going off status quo opinions. UF has a better roster this year and against the teams ranked ahead of us, this is what happened last year:

    1. UF slapped Bama around last year winning 2 of 3 and the one loss was in OT.
    2. Split with Auburn and would have beat them twice if it weren't for Micah's catastrophic injury
    3. Tennessee was clearly better than UF last year
    4. Beat Arky the one time we played
    5. Split series with A&M and the game we lost was by 1 point.
