McElroy thinks UF is being overlooked

I kind of agree with him in that I think that not only did Florida beat Tennessee last year, but they came close to beating Missouri and Arkansas.
I am guessing that the team's added experience will help them this year.
The OL additions are an upgrade from last year, as are the DL additions.
Think about this ...
If Florida wins 6 games next year, that means they will have beaten at least one of the teams from this list:
  • Tennessee (in Knoxville)
  • Kentucky
  • Georgia
  • Texas (in Austin)
  • LSU
  • Ole Miss
  • FSU (in Tallahasee)
If they make it to 7 wins, then they will have beaten at least two teams from that list, which in my opinion would be a definite improvement from last year.

If the offense improves slightly (which I think it will) and the defense improves (which it definitely will), we will win 8 games.
My only worry about the offense is replacing Pearsall. Wilson is legit but Pearsall was a game changer. It’s year 3, no more excuses. Winning less than 8 is seemingly unacceptable in year 3. Napier is either a legit game day coach and developer of talent or he isn’t.

We came close to beating a team with a losing record in the Swamp.

Yiu know that Arkansas got their only SEC win over us.

This sounds like Napier talking about being competitive with them.

We lost at home. They got their only SEC win.

There's no positives there for us.

That man thought McElwain was going to be great and we should have stuck with him.

I don't care about shit this guy has to say.
It seems to me he was simply supporting a coach who helped him win a "national championship".
From what I recall, Tim Tebow similarly supported his coach (Mullen) who helped him likewise win a "national championship".
Do you have the same opinion of Tebow?

He could be right. We don't know what we have until we see what goes down this spring.

We don't know how Miami, UCF, LSU and FSU are going to look with a new QB.

We don't know how Texas A&M and MSU are going to look with new head coaches.

We don't know who is better than us or who we are better than.
