Gators will surprise people and 7-5 is a win with this schedule. I think it ends ok

Who will start at quarterback for the Gators? Have they named a starter yet?

Schedule makers always hate Florida teams..they try to set us up for failure every year

Florida's gotta get a great leader at quarterback again..that's the engine that drives the train..GO GATORS

Napier needs to go....if U.F. is going to stand any chance at all it will not be with this coach....he needs to go back to Division 2A ..he is nowhere near ready for Division 1 A...will he ever be...to be completely honest..I doubt it

Because it isn’t there. 😂

Graham Mertz is a Great Quarterback that had a higher completion rate than Beck at 72.9% to Becks 72.4%. I promise you this if he has an online that gives him time and a defense of old dem Rowdy Reptiles of 2006 or 2008. This is upsetting that Mertz is getting better respect. He was #3 in completion percentage and I believe in him and the Gators. I'm confident to say he is #1 Beck #2 Ewers #3 Brady Cook #4 Jaxson Dart #4 Jaden Milroe #6 Nico #7 Garret #8 Arnold #9 & Vandagriff #10.

I think the offense will keep them in 7 or 8 games. I am more interested in the defense. Can they make stops, force turnovers, and get off the field without giving up fourth snd forever. IMO, teams.last.uear did not need to punt because they knew they could either score or convert on 4th down, especially late in the game

Hell, no, the gators are straight garbage cans garbage can coach garbage can program

We will be alright and go gators

Florida will definitely be losing. That’s all they ever do with bozo Billy the coach y’all flat just suck.

FSUFSUFSU

When you suck, you suck in the gator suck can’t beat no damn buddy. The coach teaches you had to beat up your girlfriend and spit on players absolutely garbage that’s the standard bozo Billyville.

You are very funny today you got the shittiest team in the SEC they want y’all to leave. That’s funny FSU your daddy Miami is your daddy. Everybody I’ll play is your daddy y’all just suck that.😂😂😂😂😂😂

He ain’t never gonna be as good as DJ you done lost your mind, girl bozo Billy must’ve off on you. You must be getting a job at the circus too.

Go Gators! 🐊

yes the schedule is tough but me thinks we are up for the challenge. Being the homer & eternal optimist…the tougher they are the better

Great post! Thanks!

Love the content as always coming from a VOLS fan. As of right now I agree that GM is ahead of Nico. If Nico has a sophomore slump he could be the five or sixth best QB in yalls schedule. If Nico is what they say he is, he could be in the top three QB’s. In good clean spirit, I hope we beat y’all by three touchdowns. Keep doing you!!!

Wow. Cam Ward? Get back on your meds. Can't see a team who has 8 home and 4 away games do so much crying. Miami's D will shut down Mertz and Cam might not even need to pass, but will light up the score board when he does.

Spot on analysis Ali, awesome job as always!! Agree with your list 100% and I feel a lot better having Mertz coming back!! can’t believe it’s been 20 years since we were partying and celebrating championship after championship in Gainesville 🙌😎🔥

So, Ali... I think when you do analytics, one of the important things is to test your results. Anyone can just say "I think..." and whatever, right? Then, you also get into differences with how people translate the question. Nothing illustrated that better than everyone losing their minds about EA's toughest stadium environments list, right? Everyone came out of the woodwork with their own translations of what constituted "toughest stadium environment." Same thing here with "best QB," except you can actually test your thesis with QB. You can't really do that with stadiums. Test? Use your key measures (experience, etc.) and apply them to last year's UF opponents, and then see if your "We should have a significant advantage if our QB is better than their QB" thesis applies. For example: our QB was hella-better than Bryson "Pig Farmer" Barnes. And yet...not so much with the UF winning. For example 2: Devin Leary couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. And yet...not so much with the UF winning. And so on. All that to say... Maybe nobody is talking about THIS Gators football advantage because the tests don't suggest that it actually *is* an advantage. And post script... Having a good QB really doesn't help much when you leave the fastest player on the team on the bench the whole year. Defense: make a play. Beat Kentucky. Aidan Mizell.

Mertz wasn't the issue last year and will hopefully be even better this year. The much bigger question is can the defense stop any of these opposing QBs?

We’re underrated and shitted on we know it the team knows it the coach knows it I’m ready for Miami , Florida by 9

Tough is an understatement, it’s a freaking gauntlet

This lady needs to go cook some food. Cam ward has back to back 3k seasons while graham mertz was garbage for years 😂😂😂

Allie’s a straight out fool. Guess what, Miss Twinkle Toes? QBs, like teams, are judged by winning, not stats. I can see you haven’t got a clue when you rank Mertz ahead of KJ Jefferson. Jefferson came into Hainesville and led the Hogs to their first ever victory there. Mertz was 20-25, an 80% completion rate. But that is just more proof of his mediocrity. He doesn’t process what a defense is doing quickly. He holds on to the ball too long and his first choice, overwhelmingly, is to fulfill his moniker of “Check Down Charlie.” Mertz is awful road QB. Have checked his record, and don’t forge WB’s are judged by wins and losses, on the road? He’s a bad road QB. Jefferson bullied the Gators with his legs, not his arm. So what? Jefferson did lead his team to victory! I think Allie doesn’t even know what Vince Lombardi said: “Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.” Allie is downright silly. She thinks someone being a 1st year starter makes them inferior to Mertz? Mertz led UF to a losing record! Is it a good thing that he returns? That should be the question. Then she talks about his advantage in experience? I think he’s 24-19! as a starter. DJU is 30-10! Again, it’s pretty simple. You are what your record says you are. Florida, for three straight years, has been a BAD team! Allie May spew out her line of B.S., similar to “Sun Belt” Billy….but it will soon be time to play real games. When UF finishes 1-11, what new B.S. will she try on sucker Gator fans?

Shane Mathews said Merz would be the typical starting QB for the Ole Ball Coach….also, Shane went down the schedule of teams we play, I think he said 9 of our opponents have new starting QBs in a new system, Mertz in his second year in the system…the team leader, , led league in % completions, only 3 interceptions……Go Gators…PS, I am a Homer! 😂

Well another big big advantage, they have 7 home games this year and most of those teams are very beatable in the SWAMP.

Can’t say i can weigh in on the quarterback rankings because I haven’t seen a lot of them play but I think a lot the Gator fans need an attitude adjustment. We have sufficient talent on this team to go 8 and 4 or 9 and 3, unless they underachieve. As fans are we supposed to exercise a little optimism? Get off your sourpus soapbox you negative fair weather fans!

I look at Mertz and he does what any coach wants from their QB's ... the ability to complete a pass and not turn the ball over. I believe Mertz was number 1 last year in completion percentage. All of these other QB's are either new or are playing for a top program. Personally, I would put Mertz at number 3 and I think we all know if Florida had a winning season last year, the entire SEC would be talking about Mertz and his exceptional completion numbers whether they were long throws or short dump offs. To me, Mertz = Leak. Underappreciated and not given the credit they deserve. Even after Leak won a Natty.

I'm with you. Ali ppl are acting like none of these teams can't be beaten

Players not the problem, coaching is. Blue chip ratio .. keep Sunbelt Billy at all cost.. 🍢

I AGREE 💯🐊💪‼️

UGA and Texas are the toughest games on the schedule. And even those games are winnable

7 and 5 is what i expect .

Ewers is not number 2 not even close stop buying into the Texas hype.

Look...everyone (fans and media) keep saying our schedule is the toughest. If Fla wins 8 or more games everyone mainly the media will say our schedule wasn't as hard as they thought

This post will NOT age well.

My God, you are such a Homer. At MINIMUM, DJU and Mertz are about equal and it even pains me to say that as I dont even think Mertz is on the same level. But to sit there and spew off BS about Mertz being "much better" then DJU is the biggest pile of horse doo doo I have heard today. Ali, I will bet you $250 dollars that DJU will have a better QBR after 12 games then Mertz (unless injury affects EITHER player). Please put your money where your mouth is or STFU with your nonsense opinions.

I’m glad you made this video Ali because I think a lot of people are missing all these points

Honestly , I’m not worried about Mertz. We need huge improvements in our defensive play. And then,also eliminate those pesky game day gaffes.

Are you excited about the new college football game coming out?

Did you collaborate with Shane Matthews on the qb list?

Nice breakdown of QB rankings. If the Gator D has truly improved, the real questions concern the O line. If they can't stay healthy, move people around, or protect the QB...we are done for.

Ali…….just stop 🤦‍♂️. You should be ashamed of yourself for pumping false hope in to this fan base. Ray Charles could see this is a 5 or 6 win team.

I really like Mertz, he is a good fit for UFs offense and tends to make good decisions. But putting him ahead of Ward is a bit of a stretch. Ward has a played a LOT of football, including games at Washington and Oregon and (although he spent of of that time running for his life) he didn't look very rattled to me. Also, will be running the Air Raid offense, which he is very familiar with. And let's not forget that he will be behind one of the best OLs in college football.
