Could someone who knows how post the Saturdays Down South article where Phil Steele says the Gators will be the most improved team in the nation? Thanks.
Pretty low bar. From where we were last year it won't take much.

EDIT: Read the article. Although I generally respect Steele's opinion, he missed the mark badly last year...

"This isn’t the first time in recent history Steele has been high on the Gators entering the season, as he picked Florida as his No. 1 surprise national contender last offseason."

Didn't say that I agreed; I just thought it was worth discussing.

Did he say this last year, too?

In fact, claimed we were darkhorse NC?

Edit: ok, I see the link, even last year's silly prediction.

"While he missed the mark pretty badly on that one, he believes all the misfortune suffered by the Gators in 2017 is unlikely to occur again "

Misfortune? Hiring shytty coaches isnt bad luck. You have 4 win seasons at UF bc you are a terrible coach.

It should have been it's own thread! Steele is the best in the business, and he does his analysis completely based on gambling. So there's no emotion or other BS included. He also makes adjustments based on injuries, transfers, etc that most of the Lindy's, Sporting News, etc don't take into consideration. Sure, he blows his analysis sometimes...but w/ UF it was obvious by the 1st game vs. Michigan we weren't going to be any good - so if you are a gambler you should have faded us.

Steele must be smoking some funny stuff again. We likely lose to Miss State and LSU because their QBs will be much better than ours. I don't see us upsetting Georgia and FSU will probably win due to better talent. Heck we could lose to either KY or Tenn if we lose the turnover battle.

Agree completely. Although I think we squeak out wins vs. UK and Tennessee (I hope). I still don't get anyone thinking we're going on the road winning at Miss State (and it shows a complete lack of following CFB outside of UF).

I met this kid about 2, 3 months ago at my gym in Alexandria. He was wearing a Clemson backpack and had an Ohio State lanyard around his neck. A lot of kids come in there for athletic training. I asked him if he played at one of the two schools and he said he was being recruited, we chatted for a few minutes, I shook his hand and got his name (and I threw in that he should consider UF). I went and looked him up on 247 and he was ranked around 60th overall in the country. I was shocked. 247, at the time, had him CB'd to Penn State, Ohio State, and Clemson. Of course, the rich get richer.....he picks Alabama.

Alabama beats out Clemson to land commitment from 4-star S DeMarcco Hellams out of Maryland
