I predict 9-3. I think we take a step back after this season, so a step back from 8-4 probably puts Mullen on the hot seat,
and I don't want that.

Well as with last year this is pretty clear:
MIami: Mullen must win this game, UF did not hire the right guy if he loses to a down Miami program with a brand new head coach at a neutral site.
UTn-Martin: Another must win, UF did not hire the right guy if he loses to a team like this.
at UK: Another must win, Mullen can NOT let UK have a winning streak against UF.
UTn: Another must win, Mullen must defend the Swamp this year.
Towson: Another must win, see UTn-Martin.
Auburn: Another must win, see UTn.
LSU: This is one UF could lose. On the other hand Mullen needs to establish he is a better coach than Orgeron. Also the visiting team has often won in this series.
at SoCar: Another must win. Mullen must win at UF with better talent over Muschamp or UF did not hire the right guy.
UGa: Another one that UF could lose. Mullen needs to get over this hump and not let UGa beleive they should beat UF every time, but UF still will be the underdog this year.
Vandy: Another must win, see UTn and Auburn.
at UMo: Another must win, see UK.
FSU: Another must win, see UTn, Auburn etc.
So UF has a minimum of 10 must wins on the schedule and could lose 2 games. Last year UF similarly had 10 must wins on its schedule, lost to 2 of them UK and UMo, but beat FSU on the road to win 9 games in the regular season.

If things go our way with the o-line play, minimal injuries, and good breaks on fluke plays throughout the year I think 10-2, but if the o-line struggles, we have some injuries at key positions or times, and we dont catch some lucky breaks when we need them like we for the most part did last year, i could see 8-4.
I'm splitting the difference and going 9-3 again with a NY6 berth.

I think UT could be a team that we underestimate and lose to. They are one of the most experienced teams in the SEC.

Miami: I tend to agree with this and a loss would be a huge blow and have Mac - Mullen comparisons being made early in the season. It would take a Georgia win and an SEC Championship game berth to overcome this loss. 10-2 with just another loss to Georgia wouldn't even make up for a loss here regardless of another Peach Bowl.
Kentucky: I tend to agree with this and a loss would be on par with a loss to Miami. Short of recovering and winning the SEC East this would be devastating.
Auburn: Imo this is not a must win and is the 2nd most likely candidate for a 3rd loss this season. It would sting however as Mullen needs to take the Swamp back after getting whipped there twice last season.
SC: A loss here would sting but wouldn't be as bad as a real early loss to KY or Miami.
Missouri: A loss here would sting bad but I expect this to be the most likely candidate for a 3rd loss.

Them and FSU could be improved a lot but I doubt they are near our level yet. I see them both winning an extra 2 games or so this season.

We of course agreed on your comments on the two other games.
On Auburn, I agree it is a game that could be lost. Auburn is a program maybe just a notch below UF historically. Still it is a home game and Mullen needs to defend the Swamp. It is a game against a team whose coach is on the hot seat this seasons and Mullen's program needs to be ruthless enough to win such games. Really to me had Mullen not lost twice in the Swamp last year, this would be less of a must game, but he did have those two home losses last year.
On SoCar, that it is Muschamp's team makes it equally must to UK to me.
On Missouri, UF should have win streaks like against UK, SoCar and Vandy, against this program. It is not in UF's zip code in terms of the stature of the program and the talent in the program. I know I railed against the UAA allowing this game to be moved so late in the season, but one of the things I learned during the SOS years is that the better team usually has an advantage in bad weather and as I said above UF should always be the better team against this program.

With all the whining this week, thought it would be fun to bump this as a reminder. Pretty much on track or exceeding everyones predictions but I guess that’s not good enough now. Exceeding @Swamp Donkey predictions so far, but no surprise there.
Here’s another thread: Let's project UF's 2019 record
Hat tip to @ThreatMatrix and @CGgater for nailing their predictions.

I predicted 9-3, I actually thought I had predicted 4 losses. Anyhow, don't think many can be totally shocked by how the seasons played out so far, maybe except for Trask filling in so good.

Imagine everyone's predictions if you told them FF was going to be knocked out for the season during the UK game, while we were behind no less, and Trask would be the starter the rest of the way. I know I would have thought at least 4 losses.

How about @Gator Fever?
Already predicted correctly the 2 we'd lose, and has Mizzou as the most likely beyond that, combined with 2 other games that were closer than we may have expected coming into the season.
Plus a little respect for the fact that he only posted it one time.

That’s not true. Butters Fever keeps predicting 26-23 OT games.

Looks like we've exceeded your expectations. You must be proud of Mullinz to have done so well with so little.

Is the season over? So weird. Youre the second person who has declared that.
Yeah, Ole Chimp was pretty good at winnimg those come from behind games..... until he wasnt. Nearly losing to everyone (by design) doesnt work. Eventually you stop winning the coin tosses.
