IMHO the only advantage we have against FL is that we are in the second year of implementing our system and they are in the first.

IMO, at least UF is returning their projected starting QB, whereas UT appears to have lost theirs for the season. Also IMO UF's defense is at this point in time more stable than UT's defense....

You went 13-1 two years ago. You hired one of the top asst coaches in the country. You have 5* talent like crazy.

Please, just STFU. When you are on your third head coach in three years, and the second basically nuked your program, then come talk to us about your "issues". You won a national title three years ago. Just. Go. Away.

Would you trade the UF team and staff for the UT team and staff straight up?

For argument's sake, let's compare recent history. I'm seeing two national titles for you guys in the past few years. I'm seeing a state that will NEVER have to look far for recruits.

So, even though I 100% disagree with you, for the sake of your moaning, I'll play along and say even if that WAS the case, you'll be back quicker than us due to recruiting advantages and national perspective.

So no, you're not in worse than shape us. You whipped us this year, and you come on here complaining about dropping off from 11 wins a year to 8, something that won't even last long.

Wow.

The real reason behind this is to disprove the myth about Florida's talent, depth, etc...........

It just isn't there.

You guys may have depth problems, but I would venture to say that for the most part, outside of Bray, Hunter, Rogers, the rest of your top 22 is more talented than ours.

The team? Yes. Easily. I'll take that defensive talent like crazy.

The staff? I don't know. I don't see how that relates to this conversation.

Good lord. How is the Gators position comparable to Tennessee's? Florida won 2 NC's in the past five years and we have gone through 3 coaches in 4 years and haven't won a championship of any kind in 12 years.
