With seasons starting as early as they do it’s not like the teams don’t play a few games before Thanksgiving weekend as it is.

Since we have wins over Wisconsin and Marquette and they have losses to Mercer and South Alabama, a Gator loss on Wednesday would be especially hurtful. Bias aside, I don’t give FSU much of a chance in this one. They lost too much from last year’s team, and Florida’s playing at a pretty high level for being this early in the season. I’m not big on predictions, but I’d expect a double-digit win for us, even if it is in their building. Not sure why they changed it, but this game used to always be played on the Friday night before the Saturday football matchup.
