WEEK 3 RESULTS
Survey conducted 9/18 to 9/24 (These results are from the week after the win over Tennessee)

Because the participation level fell so low, we didn't run a poll last week. We're going to try it once again after the Alabama game to see if we can get the 100 votes we need to make it more balanced.

Here are the week three results - keep in mind, the poll was taken after the win over Tennessee, but before the win over Kentucky.


1. When it comes to the way Will Muschamp is performing his job as the head coach at the University of Florida, do you...
Strongly Approve 86.5%
Approve 13.5%
Disapprove 0.0%
Strongly Disapprove 0.0%

Comments: Though is Strongly Approve ranking has fallen, there's still not a single negative vote through three games.

2. When it comes to the way Charlie Weis is performing his job as the offensive coordinator at the University of Florida, do you...
Strongly Approve 57.7%
Approve 38.5%
Disapprove 3.8%
Strongly Disapprove 0.0%

Comments: Strongly Approval rating has plummeted 15.7 points in a week and his Disapproval rating has more than doubled despite UF's offense being one of the best in the SEC. Could this be a reflection of the team not going deep as much as the Gator Nation would like?

3. When it comes to the way Dan Quinn is performing his job as the defensive coordinator at the University of Florida, do you...
Strongly Approve 54.7%
Approve 45.3%
Disapprove 0.0%
Strongly Disapprove 0.0%

Comments: Though his overall numbers are the worst of the three coaches we poll about, he is the one that has improved over last week. Despite having one of the top units not just the SEC, but in the nation, Quinn's overall top end ranking is still lower than either Muschamp or Weis.

4. When it comes to the way John Brantley is performing his job as the quarterback at the University of Florida, do you...
Strongly Approve 9.4%
Approve 75.5%
Disapprove 15.1%
Strongly Disapprove 0.0%

Comments: His Strongly Approve rating stayed the same while he lost 1.1% from his Approve rating - that went to his Disapprove rating.

5. When it comes to the way the running backs are performing their job at the University of Florida, do you...
Strongly Approve 88.2%
Approve 11.8%
Disapprove 0.0%
Strongly Disapprove 0.0%

Comments: As you might expect with the year Demps and Rainey are having, the backs continue to be the gold standard on the team when it comes to approval ratings.

6. When it comes to the way the receivers are performing their jobs at the University of Florida, do you...
Strongly Approve 2.0%
Approve 31.4%
Disapprove 45.1%
Strongly Disapprove 21.6%

Comments: As you might expect, the receivers were graded the most harshly. Their combined Strongly Approve - Approve rankings fell from 75.1% to 33.4%. They have by far the highest negative ratings on the team.

7. When it comes to the way the offensive line is performing their job at the University of Florida, do you...
Strongly Approve 26.9%
Approve 67.3%
Disapprove 3.8%
Strongly Disapprove 1.9%

Comments: The line received their first negative votes of the year after the win over Tennessee.

8. When it comes to the way the defensive line is performing their job at the University of Florida, do you...
Strongly Approve 39.6%
Approve 60.4%
Disapprove 0.0%
Strongly Disapprove 0.0%

Comments: The way they played in the win over Tennessee showed up in the rankings. Last week they had a combined 12.5% negative ranking, this week they have zero in the two bottom categories.

9. When it comes to the way the back seven are performing their job at the University of Florida, do you...
Strongly Approve 9.4%
Approve 71.7%
Disapprove 17.0%
Strongly Disapprove 1.9%

Comments: Virtually unchanged from the votes they received after the win over UAB.

10. Overall, when it comes to the way the University of Florida is performing on the field, do you...
Strongly Approve 41.5%
Approve 58.5%
Disapprove 0.0%
Strongly Disapprove 0.0%

Comments: The win over Tennessee put a little pep back into the step of the Gator Nation - and it was evident in the polling. The Strongly Approve rating rose 11.8% and there wasn't a single negative vote cast.

Check back after tonight's game and we will have the new poll up and ready for your participation.
