The ESPN Football Power Index now gives us a 43% chance to beat Florida.  Preseason it was 37%.  I guess their loss hurt them more than our narrow escape.

I know it's just stats, but in the past it's been as good a predictor as any.  I like the way it looks this week as it has both uga and UF as basically coin tosses.  If we split those two games, it's a good season almost for sure.

I'm not sure our offense can score on their defense. I just wish I was as confident that their offense can't score on our defense. Florida's offense is putrid, but our defense may be as bad if the GaTech game is any indication. Sadly, we could shut out IndSt and not learn anything about our D because the Sycamores are that bad. OTOH, if IndSt manages to put up numbers against us... 

There should be no reason we can't go to The Swamp and feel comfortable about our chances of winning, given the level of sucktitude that Florida offense is displaying. If we turn it into a career day for anyone on the Gator O, we should pull an Alabama and leave Bob Shoop on the tarmac in Gainesville.
