Somewhere in the 15-20 range I'd expect since we're losing 4/5ths of our starting OLine + Gardner Johnson + Jefferson + Scarlett. Doesn't mean the coaches won't get the young guys ready to play, but the voters will expect a drop off after losing all those starters.
This being Mullen's first year eases some of those concerns. The NFL would've chuckled at most of these guys after last year, but a year under Mullen has gotten them infinitely more prepared than Mac did. So, to that point, there's some decent guys waiting in the wings if they're developed like the guys leaving.

Some magazine polls may have UF at 9 or 10, but I think the majority will put them in the 11-13 range. Michigan, Texas, and LSU will all likely be in the top 10 ahead of us. Texas will possibly jump us in the polls to finish this season after what they did to UGA.

Texas beat UGA by 7 - with UGA rallying. We beat UM by 26 going away. I wouldn't expect their win to be more impressive in the eyes of the voters than ours. Would you?

I think their win is more impressive, considering UGA is the better team and Texas was leading the entire game as a 12.5 point underdog. I'm sure many voters think the same.
