I don't wanna dwell on it, over-analyze it, or stew about it for another month...
Of COURSE we didn't get a whole lot in the way of love OR credit in the first of the big preseason's polls, The Coaches'. Got about what we could expect, really--we're there, but on the outer fringes of the pool of brighter light.
Some deserve to be there, some don't.
Lots of potential reasons, but the good news is we'll have plenty of opportunity to elbow our way up and into the center of things--and SOON.
In fact, practically as soon as things really get going. A month from now, our Reptiles get a crack on the big stage against Harbaugh's Wolverines.
Losing ain't a season-killer, obviously, but for now, personally, I'm holding my hopes (let alone resentment I may feel in the little credit we're getting so far from outside Gator Nation) in quiet abeyance until the outcome of that one, at least.
I'll have PLENTY to say after--especially if, WHEN we win!
