I’m mostly being sarcastic to be dismissive of the hype. We should win the conference and win 10 games if the DB room stays healthy/gels. This is the most talented and deep roster in years. But I’m still in cautious optimism mode until I see it on the field. Come out and beat the Gators by double digits on the road and I’ll fully sip the Kool Aid.

A rivalry game in the Swamp isn’t easy, especially in game 1. Zero chance we miss out on a bowl game. No need to just make up dumb stuff. Florida on the other hand…

I’ve seen this Sark experience before. I hear the argument that he’s changed, but then he turned around after the first bit of success he’s gotten and brought over his boy Johnny Nansen and a couple other of his guys.
I get it, coaching is nepotistic and guys like to work with people they trust. But he’s getting the band back together. I’m surprised he didn’t bring Tosh to Texas too. Only a matter of time before Wilcox is the DC down there.

I think UF will upset at least ONE of those good teams on their schedule their picked to lose against

Lolol Oregon/Nike actually trademarking and branding “that team out west” and trying to force it into being a thing is so cringe and hilarious to me.
It’s not just that their fans fundamentally don’t understand why Ohio State calls Michigan TTUN but it’s so attention seeking. “Hey hey Ohio State, do me! Make fun of me next!”

I think that Florida is going to be much better than their record will show. Won't be surprised if that opening game w/ UM is a very tight one that comes down to the wire.
Personally, I'm hoping for a nice sloppy 8 - 5 double OT win for either squad. But in reality I think it'll be a very eventful game. Maybe like a 24-21 game.

Regardless of how good they are, turning your team over to a True Freshman QB is always a risk. Interested to see how his season goes

Agreed that it will likely be close. It's a rivalry game on the road and it will be loud in there (it was very hard to run my offense in CFB '25 dynasty mode).

Florida on the other hand will thrive in our Pop Tarts Bowl game come end of season.
I've got 10 days left to **** talk all you Miami and FSU fans before that chance is gone for another year, so let me manifest some schadenfreude via all of us being pissed off come November.

Granted they beat OSU the last time they played, their all time record of 1-9 makes this even more laughable

In 1990 when FSU was weighing offers from the ACC and SEC, Paul Finebaum correctly predicted that they’d eventually regret their decision:

This is why these geriatric guys like him, Holtz, and Corso don’t need to be on TV anymore

In Spurrier’s case I think it has less with him being old and more to do with him just not GAF and simply cashing a check which is endearing in its own way

They won 3 championships while in the ACC though. Or, you mean financial regret?

There is no doubt that they have been successful in the ACC, especially the first decade when they dominated the league, but they are currently suing to get out of the league and into the SEC or B1G. Finebaum was right in the long run.

It’ll be interesting to see how all this realignment plays out in the long run. We will likely end up having just the two super conferences at one point. We’re probably stuck with the P4 status quo for at least another decade though. The ACC’s TV deal (which appears to be rock solid in terms of the exit fee) goes until 2036 and the Big 12 just extended theirs last summer if I’m not mistaken.
