The schedule is at the very bottom of my list of concerns for this team. I cannot think of any season ever that I have used the schedule to evaluate how good the Florida Gators will be. I don't care if we are lining up against Maine, I don't like our chances of not getting a 12 men on the field penalty during a crucial 3rd or 4th down.

It is indeed sad that we have to use the tough schedule as an excuse for a losing season way before tne first game is even played. It's as if we are being prepared for accepting the fact that we shouldn't be disappointed if we lose 7 or 8 games.

It's as if we are being prepared for accepting the fact that we shouldn't be disappointed if we lose 7 or 8 games. EXACTLY. It's a preemptive excuse and aimed at qualifying mediocrity as rousing success. It's also very odd in that it's just basically an SEC schedule with our traditional in-state Rival game and then non-conference games at home against a team that was 3-5 in the ACC and one that was 3-6 in the Big 12. Yes it's tough but when will it ever be markedly easier? Next year when we go to Miami, LSU, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Kentucky? Those are 3 of our potential wins, and I don't think Texas is really sweating coming into the Swamp any more than Ole Miss is this year. Tough to put together an easy SEC schedule when you have a bottom tier coach bringing in bottom tier talent and you just pretend it's not happening or it somehow is not his fault.
