Incredibly Premature Predictions: UF Edition

Scarily-accurate wonder-site College Football News has posted predictions of relevance to any Gator:

Florida goes 11-1...


And plays Ohio State for the National Championship. Though if OSU is involved, that's really the Chompionship, isn't it? Our hopes for a NIT Final between OSU and UF were dashed tonight, so we'll just hold on to this prediction:

Georgia might be the hot team going into the year, but Florida will be every bit as good if the secondary has overcome its growing pains. The D might not be better than Georgia's, but the offense will be unstoppable with Tim Tebow likely to be an even better passer, Percy Harvin on the verge of a monster season, and a real live running game ready to operate behind a line strong enough to push some people around. Even if the Dawgs lose at LSU and/or at Auburn, the Cocktail-Don't-Call-It-A-Cocktail Party might be for the SEC East, the SEC, and the national title. The Gators have to go to Tennessee, Arkansas and Florida State, but those should be manageable for a championship caliber team. It'll be the home date with LSU that could be the big problem, along with the Georgia showdown.
