Why be so negative? I know you want to keep your reputation but the week of the game I put everything to the side and think we can win them all until we lose at least one of them.
It is crazy to see that in each game of Texas, LSU and Ole Miss, that 2 of these "experts" picked UF to win and only one of them picked us to win against FSU, but still picked us to go 6-6. That is some delusional logic. IF we win against LSU and Ole Miss, I predict we go 10-2.
A fan can absolutely think that way. We don't look at it as trying to be positive or negative, this is realistically, right or wrong, how we think it plays out.
As for myself, I don't think I have been negative at all. Two years ago I had UF at 8-4 in the Superlatives. They finished 6-6. Last year I had them 6-6, they finished 5-7. So if anything, I have been overly optimistic.

In most instances, I don't know that there is that much carryover. I mean, UF beat a highly ranked Utah team to start the 2022 season, and finished with a losing record.
This year, who knows? If UF beats Miami, especially if it is convincingly, I can see that helping build momentum to go on a run. If they lose that game though, I can see it turning sour fast.
We may very well have different thoughts on the outcome by the time the game rolls around.
Or FSU may be on a 10 game losing streak and UF might be on an 11 game losing streak and it won't change.
That is why this disclaimer is posted directly underneath the predictions:
To be clear, this is how each of us feels a week before the start of the season. By the time game week actually rolls around, our picks could change.
