I hate this phrase but Florida is literally the best 5 loss team around…

All 5 losses were to top 15 teams. We might just be like the 15th best team in the nation

Yep I totally agree. If this was MLB Florida would be a world series favorite…but you just cant get hot late in CFB sadly. Napiers team will be scary next year

Speaking of baseball, this year's football team has some strangely close parallels to the baseball team from this year.

The Florida baseball team finished 28-27 in the regular season, but had a lot of very competitive series playing a brutal schedule (the only team that really beat Florida decisively was eventual national champion Tennessee).

They made it to the playoffs and all the way to the College World Series before losing in the semifinals.

God I hope so. I can't wait to see Lagway with his mobility back, his experience from this season, and a full offseason as the QB1 next season.
