What do you think our record will be this year? The games that concern me are LSU, AU, Bama, SC, and FSU. Our chances at LSU just got better, as they will be distracted. No clue how AU will be, but we love to lose out there. Bama looks to be tough, and we are at SC - a lot will depend on how Garcia does throughout the year. And is FSU really as good as their hype is this year?

I admit that I have no idea how we will turn out this year - no inside info, and I haven't read much definitively on the subject. My brother in law went to the spring game and was not thrilled. If you put a gun to my head, I would say that we will have a 3 or 4 loss season.

What do you guys think? Anyone have any real insight?

I'm hoping for 10-2 this year without injuries. I think a loss will come in the Bama/LSU/Auburn gauntlet and potentially @ USC. I'm not buying into FSU being "back." They are better than with Bobby but just because they beat was was easily one of the worst UF football teams in 20 years doesn't mean they should be a top five team FSU did return 18 players from last year but I just don't think Manual is going to be as good as Ponder. I don't know what to expect from Bama. Bama will be breaking in a new QB that will have his first SEC road game as (possibly) a night game in the Swamp. Auburn has 7 returning players (13 for UF) from last year. I expect a big drop off from them.

We'll know more of what to expect by Saturday night. I'm cautiously optimistic.

9-4.
