#2 FSU

#16 Miami

#20 USF

#21 Florida

I would probably have it about like that also. Its crazy we are not a lock for being in the top 3 in FL with regards to early top 25 rankings. USF does return a bunch of players and Miami will probably improve some.

They may be correct, but ESPN?

I think we'd beat usf and possibly Miami. But we'd beat usf by a couple tds. That defense was awful and their offense was one dimensional.

But, hey look on the bright side, this means we are first in the state in when you consider the degree of obliviousness and obstinance in a head coach.

Things like this are exactly what is killing us with recruiting. When the Florida brand was high... we would be top 15 or 10 and then just drop if we weren't good... now with the brand so low... they start us behind USF!

They nailed some of them and were waaaaaay off on others. ...including overlooking the Gators. :blahblah:
Yup. The only reason all the other Florida schools are in this years polls is because of the new coaches. Something to yak and debate about. I think the earliest "way too early poll" should be after signing day.

And yet.....I think we finish as the best in the state.

Knowles will be hapless on O without Cook, who is a game changer; and we get them in the Swamp. Caines breaking in a new QB, plus Richt is their coach. USF :rotfl:

I agree, this crap is more click bait for the various sites. Maybe after spring games, but until the product is on the field, it is a bunch of flapping gums and wonderful fodder for the ne-gators.

And we wont have a new QB?

We better have a new QB!

I just like our surrounding pieces a lot better than what they have. Plus, our new QB will be replacing washed up journeymen transfers with whom, despite their ineptitude, we were still able to win our division. Their new qb will be replacing a guy about to be drafted into the league with whom, despite his ability, they could not do the same thing.
