    It predicated on Lagway developing too. Hope hes much better and healthy with legs. Also, lets keep qbs under 300 yards.

    Connelly's college football 'ifs' list: How contenders can come together


    Florida Gators (+4000)

    [​IMG]
    If ... Lagway is what we think he is. Like Arch Manning, we're projecting success onto DJ Lagway. The No. 8 prospect in the 2024 class went 6-1 as a starter and averaged an explosive 16.7 yards per completion. But he also threw nine interceptions with subpar efficiency, and he ranked 69th in Total QBR. That he's currently No. 6 in the Heisman odds, then, feels aggressive. Lagway has great size, a huge arm and solid mobility, but that's a lot of hype.

    If ... he has receivers. Last season's two main pass catchers are gone, and sophomores Eugene Wilson III and Aidan Mizell are the two most proven returning options outside of UCLA transfer J.Michael Sturdivant. Wilson caught 61 passes as a freshman and had receptions of 85 and 40 yards early in 2024 before a season-ending injury. He's a likely star, but Lagway will also need help from others.

    If ... last season's sophomore defenders become steely-eyed veterans. How young was Florida's 2024 defense? Of the 12 returning defenders who had 200-plus snaps, eight are now sophomores or juniors. That the Gators still jumped from 60th to 23rd in defensive SP+ was exciting, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Gators enjoyed another leap in 2025. That will require juniors such as nickel Sharif Denson and linebacker Grayson Howard to raise their games even more.

    If ... the Gators have the depth to survive this ridiculous schedule. Florida went 8-5 last season -- 2-5 against the SP+ top 15 and 6-0 against everyone else. The late-season upsets of LSU and Ole Miss were exciting, but with seven more projected top-15 opponents on the schedule, a genuine title run will require even more huge wins and exceptional depth.

    Remind me the last 3 games score? Now remind me Spurrier, Meyer, Muschamp, Macs, Mullens record against them? Just wondering.

    Napier has a losing record verse SEC opponents. He is terrible. Anyone that thinks he is good is either extremely high or drunk.

    I know, I know. I will be scorned and get lots of dislikes if I do not agree that he is amazing..but he literally has a 2-11 record verse ranked teams. You have to be insane to think we will do well unless we get a great OC who he lets call plays..you know like Saban, Meyer , Smart etc all did. He is not nearly as good as Spurrier so OC or we will be a .500 team.

    2-11 vs ranked teams...should be instantly fired but you will continue to support mediocrity....insanity. 2-11. Blown out by a terrible Miami team in the Swamp...gets destroyed beyond belief by Georgia in Jacksonville. Very simple. He is terrible. If you do not agree, please defend his record vs SEC opponents and ranked teams...please..go on..try. I would love to be shown he does not suck so I can have some hope this team of studs has a chance of winning a SEC title.

    I have a feeling this is the year everything comes together. Billy being in San Antonio and watching the basketball team take it all showed him that at Florida winning means more. We are the Florida Gators, and this is the year we ascend back to the top where we belong.

    I feel almost superstitious about making a prediction after how strange last year was. We are in a hard conference, so I would feel like homer only seeing 2 or 3 losses so I am just going to say how our competition stacks up to last year.

    Long Island…………….who? Worse than Samford

    USF…………………………improved over UCF

    At LSU………………………improved

    Texas………………………..same

    Texas A&M………………..improved

    Miss. St……………………same

    Georgia……………………same

    At Kentucky…………………..worse

    At Ole Miss. ………………….same

    Tenn…………………………..far worse

    FSU………………………….same

    Please refer to the instructions in the OP. If you wish to be included, I will be happy to get you in, but would appreciate you labeling the games accordingly and including the record (if you didn't). Not trying to be a jerk; I'm quite busy with a newborn + work and can only invest so much time to running these contests.
