Okay. I’ve watched this twice. iPhone then on a larger screen, the graphics were so small, SO. APPEARS THE TALENT IS much better, the depth is better, the organization has improved overall AFTER the State of Florida Laws were changed, allowing the University’s to compete nationally. I feel we lost Billy’s first year in the NIL landscape. STATE LAW WAS A FACTOR. Recruiting is now::: SHOW EM THE MONEY☹️. After the MONEY all past recruitment things come into play. Winning is a factor and OUR GATORS have a brutal schedule for the next 2 years. Geez did Billy get dealt a bad hand. But we are the GATORS !! We win at least 7 this year and continue the rebuild. Fire Billy and we lose another 3 years. Just my thoughts. I Was 18 years old in the swamp in 79, so I’ve been a Gator forever. I BLEED ORANGE AND BLUE! GO GATORS.

7 wins tops.

Dude I’m not going to keep the top 25 thing in mind. This is a preseason poll. A lot of these teams are not top 25. Most of them are pretenders. You can’t take this top 25 poll seriously!

Vegas knows. Florida is in.

@@edwardmccoy274 Florida is in where?

[@edwardmccoy274]

In the most southern footprint of the south Eastern conference. Most people know that. That's where.

Shouldn’t you take historical data from the NFL draft and starting salaries and model the NCAA relative pricing for salary cap maintenance? I think the matrix you used doesn’t account for risk/shelf life that an implied multiple from NFL starting salary would.
