Didn’t Butters have pretty much the same happen his first year?

Granted I like Mullen but I’m waiting for the UGA game before I feel confident about a top 10 ranking.

Wow!! OSU beaten soundly by Perdue, I would like to see a replay of that. Now us being top 10 is more a lack of good teams than our being that great. I will take it, but I hope the team does not get a big head.

If you're I worried that this similar let me put your mind at ease. Mac's 2015 six game success was built on a throne of lies. Looking back it was an unsound team winning on late game heroics of a drug addled reprobate.
On the other hand this team has been winning by playing with sound fundamentals, effective play calling and weekly improvement.
So, while a share your apprehension, I think it's safe to say that this season is something completely different.

Nobody here could have or would have predicted at the beginning of the season that we'd have a top-10 ranking going into Fla/Ga.

Bottom line, win next week and we ARE a top ten team. Lose and we're not. I'd like to stay in the top ten for more than a week.

Had they, they would have suffered a text version of what heckle-hell would be like - CBR (castigated beyond recognition).

But within two seasons Muschamp's recruits were reduced by him to irrelevancy. I don't see that happening this time. We seem to be recruiting a lot better IMHO.

The UGA game is as serious and exciting to me this season as it had ever been. Win or lose we have still turned the corner.

The only late game heroics by Grier in ‘15 were in the UT game.

I can't help but feel calling the Gators a top 10 team is a little premature. If we finish the season in the top 10 I'll be dancing in the streets.

I swear I don't know what people remember. The mind is a terrible thing.

Our offense looked like shyt for most of the Tinerc game until that last drive, and in every other game that wasn't Mizzu.

As Parcells famously stated “You are what your record says you are!”

We’re #9. We earned that on the field. Nobody gave us anything. We deserve the ranking. There is nobody behind us we couldn’t beat right now. There are a few ahead of us we might not beat. If we lose we will drop and rightly so.

I think they got it right. We’re # 9.

This ranking is so surreal there are no words for it. As the last few seconds of last years UF/FSU game passed into the record books our 4 - 7 season was a reality. To go from that debacle to 6-1 to me is nothing short of amazing considering the personnel the Gators have. This could all blow up by half time next week in the UF/UGA game to bring us all back to reality. But this sure is fun. Isn't it?

Granted, mid-year rankings are only slightly less pointless than pre-season, but as of now the T10 contains:

SEC - 4 teams (us or UGA should fall out next week), Two in t5
ACC - 1 team
NBC - 1 team
B1G - 1 team
B12 - 2 teams
AAC - 1 team
