They have everyone in place and they know the system. Their best players last year were true freshman.
I see fsu ranked in the late teens with losses to ClemPson, Florida, LSU and maybe UNC.
Hope so. Want it to look like they lose to the decent-good teams they play.
Part of the reason for such variance between 3-9 and 9-3 is that while this roster has undeniable talent--there's also a lot of noticeable weakness that come from Dipchit Dan's lack of recruiting. We're a very young team this year facing a difficult schedule. Look at the 05 Gator team that was profiled on Swamp Kings. Who's the Brandon Siler last year (or this year for that matter)? We don't have one...and to be clear: that's entirely on Mullen. I do believe Napier is fixing that and recruiting high-character in addition to talent. Assuming he stays, our locker room will look very different in a few years.
But one thing that's nagging at me this off-season is Napier not getting an OC. We didn't exactly have a great offense last year and time management was an issue in multiple games. When the margin between 3-9 and 9-3, such things are definitely relevant to winning an extra game or two.

I believe we will be as good or better than last season. Could we be worse? Agree with the Ute poster pointing out that a lot of damage was done by AR's legs and that we do not have that this year. But we are a big, strong team, and hopefully the staff has the team physically ready to play big boy football.
Agree that Napier as OC is an experiment, one we could do without. He needs someone sharp and in control making decisions. To me, he's taking on too much. We are all hoping that his staff helps him make decisions in-game as it appeared last season there was too much confusion, or Napier was just indecisive. My worst fear at the moment is our offense being too sophomoric where teams with speed and coverage skills can shut it down. We'll see.
Out of everything Billy is doing, this is my main concern. I pray he shows me otherwise.
This week feels like 1980 to me. The Gators were coming off 0-10-1, underdogs against a Pac-8 team (but in Tampa.) They destroyed Cal 41-13 and went 8-4. The difference was largely psychological, resolve that pulled them together, drove the off-season and got them through the ups and downs.
I sure hope we will see such improvement. 8-4 is a step we need to take.

Winning is the best recruiter.
Except it's not and that has been proven over and over again.
One "run, Lindsay, run" from the SEC Title.
Tell that to Nick Saban.
