    Thank God we have that schedule before the onslaught of October or a losing season could be possible.

    That makes the Sept. Tenn. game key to a decent bowl game for UF this year and Tenn will be tougher this year in my opinion than last.

    Or, if you keep ducking teams for weeks, you and up with a "gauntlet."

    I think that after taking a month off and then having to play your toughest opponents all in a row, crying about having to play a "gauntlet" is lame.
    Just thought I'd say it.

    Imagine that we were all going to bet on these games in a tournament. How about if you got to place your money on the first 8 teams in this poll as your teams; while my teams were the LAST 8 teams listed in the poll. Here are your teams:

    1. Oklahoma (42)
    2. Alabama (13)
    3. Oregon (2)
    4. LSU (2)
    5. Florida State
    6. Stanford
    7. Boise State
    8. Oklahoma State

    Here are my teams:
    18. Notre Dame
    19. Auburn
    20. Mississippi State
    21. Missouri
    22. Georgia
    23. Florida
    24. Texas
    25. Penn State

    So much for the value of preseason polls...
    :p

    I think Gip's gotta point and it's not lame, but whatever.

    Dave,

    I'm not saying YOU won't be good. I like Weis' offense and you have incredible talent. I think the East is awful and there are a few teams (like FSU) that have been riding past history in the polls for a long time now. Like ND in the mid to late 90s, they just aren't very good.

    Florida would surprise me this year with 9 or more wins.
    I hope it can happen but looking at that schedule it will be tough.

    FSU get's their first test vs. OU so that should be interesting.
