They didn't throw deep that much last year because they couldn't pass protect well enough. Especially with Etienne blocking. Barring major injuries, if the offensive line actually improves and the defense gets into the top 30, 8-4 is more likely than 4-8.

[@sheawickenden238]

Some big “ifs”

[@Grandpa_popi]

Media can’t keep Florida out their mouth huh, stay tuned haters

[@jalenb23]

ppl can’t talk about college football now ?? quit being so soft. your the softest “patriot” i’ve ever met. that’s why i only talk to black veterans !!

New subscriber brother and you’re doing great like it’s great to be a Florida Gator 🐊 💯 GOGATORS 🐊🐊

[@BeachGuy-pb6vn]

I feel like people are over looking us a lot. Naiper has done a really good this year brining guys in and i personally think we are gonna shock everyone and go 8-4, maybe even 9-3. Call me crazy cuz of our schedule, but that’s just my opinion

[@travischaffin329]

👍 Agree. 4.5 wins is an insult. 7-5 or better. If not Napier is the problem.

[@adamb6370]

A question no one can seem to find the answer to. What is the process for the SEC schedule. What are the factors and influences? Is there any form of oversight to ensure bias isint involved? Especially in a place like Birmingham. Is it because everyone knows Stricklin isn’t strong enough to say something? Because it’s not just the schedule but also account for this: UGA, Texas, and Ole Miss get a bye week before Florida. Kentucky gets Vandy, FSU get Charlestons Southern, TAMU get McNeese St. Miss St get Toledo. That’s means 7 of the schools will absolutely be fresh and healed before facing Florida. The extremity of this schedule begs the question and the SEC should have to speak to it.

[@Kangu777]

10-2

[@qlee2385]

😂 yeah right

[@harryhoesch3793]

Biggest improvement should be cheerleading and the new soft shelled concession taco. Mertz has been perfecting his quick kick, that should be most productive on 2nd down, maybe even 1st when the opponents are playing to stop the run.

[@Grandpa_popi]

You goofy as hell

[@raydripper101]

UF will be a lot better then last year but it won’t start still after week 1. Go Canes!

[@nolimitshay4079]

Dem Boyz Goin 11-1 and I’ll bet Anybody a Rack on Dat‼️🐊🐊😤 Watch Only one loss to Texas. And if we being honest, we really been letting the disrespect slide for WAY too long . We just been letting y’all catch up for all dem years we was whoopin y’all🐊😈 letting georgia and kentucky make the rivalry interesting again for ratings and shii. But 2024 we back on y’all heads and putting that Gator Swagg back on the Map 📍And we winnin the whole thing and we takin all the rings. Oh and when we back on TOP, whoever switched to the other side u better stay on that other Side‼️😤🙅🏿‍♂️🦈

It depends on the vision the players have on the field. Well see.

[@jeremycarpenter5550]

Toughest schedule in college football by far 10 and 2 or 8 and 4 it depends on this coaching staff . Stupid play calling cost us some games last year .

[@Grandpa_popi]

WTF? Defense is what cost us dummy they’re way deeper now

[@MokaleeCelestin-nx1gz]

Well said, you know football

[@stevebeckerman2335]

I see the Gators winning 7 to 10 games this season, depending on the improvement of the defense and the o line

[@Rockymarciono731]

They won 5 last year with a easier schedule lol

[@kingpeso706]

Undefeated. Pin this & get back at me before the SEC Championship

[@timothycunningham3983]

HIS CHOICE, EVEN THOUGH MAYBE A BAD ONE.

[@thegift40]

As a Gators fan ... anything 6-6 or better I would love ❤ 😍

[@BrianKorth-nu7gw]

Napier is ok but he rarely owns up to the shortcomings. His special teams were a disaster. At least 25% of his play calling was questionable or downright bad. This year there’s no excuses. He needs to field a much better defense, offensive line, and special teams. He doesn’t have to win 10 games but he cannot embarrass the entire university by going 4-8 and making dumb decisions. I like him but everyone is tired of losing and tired of excuses. Recruiting is average, not up to par with the SEC. Go Gators

[@hollywoood863]

I’m not just a casual fan I actually know football and this team is built to go 8-4 or 9-3.

[@lawtooopforop149]

But they will win 6 max

[@Dre384]

Lol this exact comment shows you are a causal they aren’t build to win 9 games stop being delusional

[@Rob-id1jb]

If this team wins 6, somebody(you) should be on their knees.

Miami is Gonna beat Florida 41-20 but the Gators may win 6 games maybe 7wins

[@greenwave819]

Are people really still pretending their sched is so hard... they play 2 easy ACC teams... they play UCF and Sanford... 4 wins... they get TAMU with a 1st year coach at home, they get KY, MsSt, and they host LSU.

[@adammauer6424]

Ya ……so…..in that list you mentioned only 1 team they play out of the last 5 games of the season and downplayed it like it’s not a team that consistently recruits in the top 10 oh ya then there’s the 4 other teams that everyone is in full agreement with that are top 15 teams that are all playoff contenders . 🤫

[@senz9141]

TAMU is very talented, UCF is an instate rivalry, everyone has a cupcake game and that is Sanford, KY has beat Florida 3 times in a row, LSU is a top SEC team.

[@sheawickenden238]

Two easy ACC games lol. FSU is better than 90% of the sec

[@Golden_Age_Of_Sound]

What planet are you living on? It is the most difficult schedule in the history of college football.

Napier literally blew 3 games last year with his coaching. Literally blew those games not the players but the coach. To expect 6 wins with him as coach? I doubt it sadly.
