Predict the Gators' 2025 Record (game-by-game)

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

 

Lets go

 

I like his story better

 

After last year, they'll never see it coming!

 

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


Florida Gators (+4000)

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.

I remember my first beer

 

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.

11-1, loss at Ole Piss

 

That kid is extremely high strung

 

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

 

You missed mine

 

Saban Meyer nor Kirby have ever called offensive plays, shut up stupid

 

sounds like he's saying that those 3 let their OCs call the plays, unless I'm stupid, too.
