the Florida team, coach, and fan base seem to be overly-confident. I don't know if I would be if I were them, considering the last time these teams faced off Jim McElwain got out-classed in the coaching department and his team got blown off the field 41-7.

Different teams, different years, I get it. But to me- this is a huge mismatch in the coaching department- and coaching is half the battle.
What makes you think they are overly confident?  They are underdogs in the betting.  I have yet to hear a Gater fan claim they would win easily.  And of course if the fan base is overly confident, it doesn't mean the team or coaches are, nor does it affect the play.

I took a gander at the Florida discussion page (followed quickly by a shower) and didn't see any notable over confidence there.  I also don't know that it matters if fans are over confident.

I can't see how coaches and players could possibly be overly confident, though they should be confident in some regards.

A player lacking confidence may not perform to his capabilities.

Florida head coach Jim McElwain just announced that RB Jordan Scarlett and WR Rick Wells have both been suspended. That makes it- what- 10 players now for Florida that have been suspended for this game? Scarlett was the top RB and Calloway their top WR. Their leading returning pass catcher and runner. Both gone.


What in the hell is going on down there in Gainseville?

I read that this is Urban Meyer's fault, all of it.

That should shift the line some more points I'd think.  The team may be having "internal issues" as well.

I think Michigan wins this one handily.

I'm a homer but I thought Michigan would win handily before all the suspensions just based on the coaching factor (Harbaugh vs. McElwain), QB factor (Speight vs. who??), and the Don Brown factor. Brown has worked miracles on defense with much less talented defensive rosters than this. I'm sure there will be a defensive drop off to start the season- especially with so many new faces- but this won't be a RichRod Michigan defense- this will still be a very respectable defensive unit and maybe even a lethal one by the end of the season.

Whichever Gator fans were overly confident may not be right now.

Well by now, Florida is supposed to lose with a first-time starting QB and 10 suspended players, Michigan is supposed to win.  

How bad is it if Michigan loses now?

It's always bad to lose.  I think Florida's chances just got considerably slimmer.

About the QB suspense for M.

At the college level most teams carry a 3 deep depth. O'Korn being a senior, I think Harbaugh cooked up the competition to keep O'Korn on the roster. Peter's  is the heir apparent but that would make 2 quality QB(don't grief on whether they are or not) so the possibility of O'Korn to keep the 3 deep roster.

The Gators won't have a "three deep" with all the suspensions.

pretty bad.
also...Bruce Feldman- probably the best CFB guy out there- says Florida has named Felipe Franks the starting QB.

Yeah, I kind of don't like having Franks, the RS FR with no starts getting the nod, but with a stripped-down team to lead.  Not exactly setting him up for success.

Exactly,Urban could coach them up but couldn't keep them out of trouble.
