Let’s face it, if I knew the result of every game Florida will play in football this season, I would not only head to Vegas, but I would also be in a Platinum Penthouse Suite there watching the money roll in.
But I don’t gamble because we all know that one of the great things about a college football season is that it’s unscripted and unpredictable. And there is no gambling at Bushwood.
What I do know is that Florida has had three seasons where the Gators went through the regular season without a loss (the SEC title game is the postseason in my opinion) – 1911 at 5-0-1, 1995 at 11-0 and 2009 at 12-0.
The last two of those seasons did not end well with the Nebraska debacle and the loss to Alabama leading to Urban Meyer’s bizarre flip-flop, but the 1911 team finished with a 21-0 win over College of Charleston. So, there’s that.
Anyway, all I can tell you is what Florida has to do to win every game in the latest Dooley’s Dozen. Remember that they can do these things and still lose some of these games, but these are the things I would stress.

A year ago, Florida lost in Lexington despite limiting the Wildcats to 224 yards and 13 first downs. That game ruined Florida’s season. The Gators lost because of 15 penalties and a blown assignment on a field goal that was blocked and returned for a score. Billy Napier preaches discipline. A little…
