Living in an insane college football town has it's ups and downs. The ups are when the Gators are playing at home, as the roads and stores are empty. The downs are when the the Gators are playing at home, as the buildup is frenzied and the after-game parties long, loud, and obnoxious.
Florida has a mediocre running game and a good but not great quarterback. And all of their highly ranked opponents must be played away from The Swamp, so planning on the best case scenario sees Florida go 10-2, but in no way shape or form is even considered for a national title. If the running game doesn't improve then it's a dismal 8-4, and that means the 91,000 screaming idjits who pack the stadium will be a nightmare for the police as they drive home and engage in weepy altercations with anyone or thing that does not share in their sorrow.
Bottom Line: They get just enough from the backfield to squeek out some tough wins, and finish 9-3 with a so-so Bowl bid. And a final real-world ranking of 14th seems just about right considering how tough a schedule they have.
