25. Florida: In a transition year for Gator football, Will Muschamp will keep Florida on the right side of .500 but not much more than that. 2011 MVP: Ronald Powell.
Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports in his Post-spring Top 25. For what it is worth, Dennis ranks FSU 8th and UGA 23rd.

Wait.
You think Florida will barely beat .500…
And you put them in the top 25?

Agreed. 7-5 record is quite reasonable, but if you believe that, top 25 is not.
'11: Minimum Goal: 9-3 Regular Season. Given FSU's non-con slate, don't care who the 9 are.
'10: 7th in offense, 41st in defense. Division Champions. 10-4. (6-3)
'09: 8th in offense, 88th in defense. 7-6 (4-4)

Yeah, the only team ranked with 5 losses last year was South Carolina. And that was coming off of 2 straight losses to end the season to Auburn and y’all.

They were also NINE and five, because they played 14 games.
'11: Minimum Goal: Win 10 games again
'10: 7th in offense, 41st in defense. Division Champions. 10-4. (6-3)
'09: 3rd in offense, 107th in defense. 7-6 (4-4)

SoCar was still ranked at 9-5 because they play in the SEC...
The SEC garners that much respect…something the ACC wouldn’t know about…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
9-5 Clemson says hello from just a year prior. Thanks for playing.

Yawn...even the sun shines on a frog's butt somedays...
And yet…Clemson only made it in one poll…the AP…
SoCar’s SEC membership carried it into both final polls…
You know where the door is…you can show yourself out…

It is Dennis Dodd. Other than that, I can’t explain it.

The most reasonable explanation of this statement is:
A.) Dennis Dodd has no idea what hes talking about
B.) NO ONE has any idea whats going to happen b/c spring ball doesnt really show alot if you really think about it.
C.) Its May……Come on, really?
D.) Its a slow news day and he had to say something.
i go with all of the above.
All of the above with A highlighted, underlined, and circled.

How did we get worse than UGA?
It was UGA that lost to UCF in the Liberty Bowl right? I didn’t just dream that?

Best I can tell from Dennis’ and other “national” sportswriters….
Aaron Murray > John Brantley.

Although 7-5 and #25 is a little off base,
would you disagree with “Aaron Murray > John Brantley” given their performances to date?
D-Hop has tiger blood
I don’t know if UF is worse, but I would bet a bunch that they finish behind UGA in the East.
The SEC East race will likely be decided by the results of its games against the West.
UGA plays: Auburn, Miss St, @ Ole Miss (also hosts SoCar)
SoCar plays: Auburn, @ Miss St, @ Arkansas
UF plays: Bama, @ LSU, @ Auburn
Is South Carolina better than Georgia? Probably, but UGA will be favored to win the division in Vegas because of schedule. And UF, um, good luck with that. They could be right there with UGA & SoCar but yet have little shot of winning the East due to the schedule.

Yeah, you’re probably right. But I’d much rather have this schedule this year, than say a year when we are starting the year around the top 5. Might as well get it out of the way now so when Muschamp has things rolling, we can go through the “lesser” teams.

my first Gators game and its homecoming…against FSU. 730 bucks? worth it.
ill probly cry when i walk into the swamp for the first time

Homecoming? For the Gators that is Vandy. Senior Day will be against FSU. But yeah, it’s worth it regardless. No question about it.

$730?
Are your tickets next to Muschamp? But seriously, you’ll enjoy it. My first UF/FSU game was 1997. Still the greatest game I’ve been to in person.

Seriously? Georgia favored in Vegas???
Georgia has been favored every year for like the last 20 and where do they end up? Almost always no where near the top. That shows the value of preseason predictions!
That is why the only one that matters is the Coaches Poll.
