SouthEastern Conference Predictions

[J-Unit40]

I will go ahead and say it now....

Watch out for October 1. Bama will be in for a dogfight when they travel to Gainesville.

This Florida team is better than last year.

Oh, and Florida should have beat UT by more than 20. That game really wasn't close.

J, you really dont believe that do you? I thought you were more level headed than that. Florida is improved from last year, but they have huge holes in the secondary. When you are getting burned by 4th string UT WR's you know there is a problem. And 20?.....seriously? We must have watched two totally different games. If Bray gets a little more loft on that first pass in the second half and the UF player doesnt make a great play, we would have been looking at a 3 point ballgame at that point. Hunter out, bad coaching decisions on the defensive side of the ball (why you dont spy Rainey at all times), and some bad breaks.

Florida still has their top corner out (Jeremy Brown) and possibly their best threat in the midrange downfield passing game (Jordan Reed - presents matchup problems for most teams).

If Demps knee scrapes the ground a millisecond earlier there is no fumble...we can play that game too.

Florida dropped FIVE INTs. Not just one or two tough ones. I had my brother in law right next to me rooting for UT and he thought UF should have won by 3 TDs.

I agree that Florida's secondary is very iffy, but the front seven is pretty damn good and that can make up for a lot when you are playing teams that don't thrive passing the ball (Bama).

I like that Florida is flying under the radar right now.

I can see where you are coming from, we just differ in our opinions of it. Bottom line...florida gets an early important east win and UT loses it best player for the year....gonna be a long one.

Gotcha. I do try to be level headed so thanks for recognizing that.

I came into this year with lowered expectations, and I have raised those a bit after 3 games. I don't think UF is winning the SEC (sure would be a surprise), but I see them making some noise as the year goes on.

Stinks that Hunter got hurt. He is very talented.

Point is same thing could be said for the TD's throws Brantley missed by just inches. Heck even one hit a Wr right in the facemask. All week we heard Bray would light up our young secondary but they held him under 200 until even the 3rd Q I believe. Take in account it took penalties and dropped picks to keep most of his drives going. Our DB's held there own IMO... But anyway moving on

I think this weekend's games have been Separation Saturday in the SEC. Bama and LSU will duke it out for best in the west and Florida is the best team in the East until further notice.
