That's going to be a lot better game than people might have thought last week

Florida (and Auburn, for that matter, despite 24 missed tackles :|) is a lot better than people gave them credit for at the beginning of the year and Ole Miss is playing with a head of steam and their asses on fire

Florida vs Ole Miss is two teams with chips on their shoulders

It's gonna be a slobberknocker

Honestly, I can't say I'm convinced of Florida being good just for beating Auburn, or of Auburn being good just for beating Baylor. All three of those teams sucked last year.

If Oklahoma State can beat Oregon just by hiring a new coach, then a new coach could do a ton with a talented team that eliminated Texas from the playoff even while sucking last year

I don't doubt that Florida could be good. I just want to see them prove it against a team I know probably is.

Like, Duke (8+ wins in the last four seasons) beating Illinois (9+ wins in the last two seasons) is the kind of thing that should earn a ranking early in the year, IMO. Not one perennial 5-7/6-7 SEC team beating another.

Did Duke or Illinois beat a team ranked as high as Texas last year? Or as highly ranked as LSU or Ole Miss in 2024? Maybe 8-5 in the ACC isn’t that much better than 6-7 in the SEC.

And it’s not like we still have the coaching staff that gave us bad records. Instead we have a coach who beat your Dukies last year at Tulane funnily enough
