Florida should be much improved. Schedule is more forgiving, o-line is upgraded, defense is much more experienced, the RB corp is built for this offense.
I think Florida could surprise some people this season.
I agree. I think Florida will be a very good team. If they can get some quality QB play, they could be a top 10 team. They'll have to navigate a pretty tough schedule though.

agree,,, but I don't think they are a surprise squad by any means ...
Might end up being the Fav to win the EAST by the time the Division odds are released ...

Haha Michigan fans are going to be pissed! They think they have a top 5 team this season.
I thought they would be around 15 though. Last year they were the Mr Magoo of football, everything that could go right for them, went right. I think Michigan will definitely regress this year. Denard-Tastic has shown be zero quarterbacking ability and is nothing more than a RB playing QB. I could see Michigan with 3-5 losses this season
Alabama in Dallas (LOSS)
@ Notre Dame (SWING)
Michigan St (SWING)
@ Nebraska (SWING)
@ Ohio St (LOSS)

If the defense is as good as it is supposed to be, it will save a lot of the issues on the other side of the ball. Could be like a Bama 08 type team, obviously not as many wins but will have a chance to compete in every game because of the defense and limiting turnovers. |

@ Notre Dame (SWING)
Michigan St (SWING)

@ Ohio St (LOSS)
Think @Nebraska at night is almost for sure Loss.. @ND at night isn't going to be easy.. @Bama is for sure loss.. @OSU last game of yr for Buckeyes is as close to a sure loss as it comes.. then on top of MSU, don't think Iowa at home (3 game win streak over UM) will be easy either..
Could easily be 8-4 or 7-5..

No way they'll be in anyones top 20...........but he overlooked them completely. When he has teams like Utah, Louisville, & Ohio ranked above them you can say he fanned on shot. |

Texas as a "surprise" team? What does that mean? They annually tout one of the best recruiting classes in the nation so why would it be a surprise if they're good? |
