OK, maybe now everyone can see what some of us have been trying to explain for a year now: The days of needing to go 12-0 or 11-1 in the SEC are GONE.

2 and 3 loss SEC teams will make the playoffs.

So HOW CLOSE were the 2024 Gators to making the Playoffs?

VERY.

1. Scheduling Miami for our first game instead of a cup cake warm up game. Hopefully our AD realizes now that playing 8 SEC games plus FSU every year is plenty tough enough. If we had opened the year with a normal season opener scrimmage game... we would be 8-4 right now.

2. A single Two-point conversion at Tennessee. If we could have pulled it off and had a rock solid play that was guaranteed to work... we would be 9-3 and SQUARELY in the playoffs right now.

So while I understand that the Offense still needs an OC to come in and add PASSING to Napier's solid run scheme... we have the right head coach in place to recruit and RETAIN talented players that can make the Playoffs every year.

The future is bright!!
