Let's see...we're on par with Ga. Southern and UNC and we face 6 preseason Top 25 teams, yet I've seen many of you predict us to win 9-10 games. :lol:

If this doesn't give our team a chip on their shoulder then I don't know what will...but I doubt the football team really cares at this point.
I'm sure they are chomping at the bit to get back on the field and kick azz.
At the end of the season we'll see where we land in the polls when the dust settles at the Swamp after we put some 'Ninjee Whompin' Action' on the Noles.

Because preseason polls mean so much. Not saying we are gonna win 9 games this year, but I don't think anyone knows much about how the seasons gonna play out.

Yet we'd be wetting ourselves if we were ranked in the top 10 preseason.

We'll be a top 20 team by end of year. We'll lose a game we shouldn't at the beginning of the year and we will be feast or famine on offense. But we should be rounding into form by the end.

If we suffer major injuries on the Oline it could be disastrous.

This poll is worthless since it's sponsored by an MLM company.

obviously the Ga Southern coach gave himself one vote and Muschamp talk Malzahn into the other. No way they should have received 2 votes in that poll.

I agree with this. I believe we will lose a game we shouldn't earlier in the season but also win a few we shouldn't during the year. I think with our defense, if our offense can be serviceable we can be a top 25 team by years end if the O line remains healthy. If not, we could be in for a long year.

I love the optimism and I'm optimistic about the future...just not the present.

Technically, the 2015 season is currently the future, fall practice hasn't even started.

Wish nothing but the best for Driskel but he's Gator bait now.

We've got a new QB to find and a new Head Coach to lead our team so I'm more interested in finding out how our Gators will transition than dwelling on any underpinnings of hatred toward a player that gave us his all and put up w/more hate than any of us have ever had to or could even understand. :exactly:

So the coaches think we are only better than KY and Vandy in the SEC.

I mean realistically on paper, they're kind of right. However, it could and will probably change.

There is no reason to rank this team in the top 25 after the way they have performed the last two years. This is definitely a "prove it on the field" year for the Gators and McElwain. If we are 4-0 to start the season we will be a ranked team and possibly Top 15 depending on how impressive we look in those wins. If the team shows growth on offense and the D looks nasty then the Gators could surprise some people.

Can you imagine how depressing this year would be if Muschamp was still our coach?
