College Football Pick'em 2010 - Week 1 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Chris Canada   
Thursday, 02 September 2010

The gatorsfirst.com team is back for another exciting year of college football picks. Like last season, we will be picking the winners of EVERY FBS game each week. We've weighted games that feature two top-25 teams higher that other games.

This week we have G1 co-founders James Brown, Chris Canada, Brian Lewis, & Jesse Colston, G1 contributors Henry Testet (CFB 365), G1 wife Mrs Brown, as well as our friend Ritch from the South Carolina blog Leftover Hotdog.

We aren't bookmakers, so if you plan on using these picks for your own personal financial gain, take caution. (I'd stick with mine, heh...)

Thursday, 02 September 2010

These resources were too good for me not to include them in one easily-bookmarkable post.

Ever wonder about Florida Gators in the NFL?  What about how many Florida Gators have made it to the NBA?  How many are currently in those leagues?  How many Florida Gators are playing in MLB?

Wonder no more.  Just come right back here, and use these resources:

The Tim Tebow Archives PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Brown   
Wednesday, 01 September 2010

A new season is beginning.  Tim Tebow will not be on the Florida sideline for the first time since the Outback Bowl victory over Iowa.

ESPN's Sunday Conversation with John Brantley which aired on SportsCenter earlier this week was really just about Tebow.

If you take a drink every time someone says ''Tebow'' during one of our games, you may wind up seriously harmed (note: G1 does not recommend this.  For anyone.)

With all that in mind, let's link all the Tebow-centric material we've posted over the years in one place, and all agree to move on.

Of course, when he does something amazing, or a statue of him is erected in Gainesville or something, we'll bring that news to you, too.  And we'll link it right here in this post.  But it is time to move on to the 2010 team, so let's get this out of the way...

Sunday, 29 August 2010

You may have seen the college fantasy football mock draft I posted last week, and wondered how our own Jordan Reed was the second tight end off the board- and drafted well before most teams drafted a tight end.

Let's take a look at his projected stats, and see how that stacks up against other recent Florida Gators tight ends...

First in the breakdowns by conference this season are the Independents. The short version? Navy has some intriguing rushing prospects, Notre Dame (despite the fact that they suck) should put up offensive stats, and Army pretty much sucks all around. But you knew that. On to more specific details...

College Fantasy Football Mock Draft PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Brown   
Saturday, 21 August 2010

I recently completed a mock draft for a 10-team college fantasy football league, with all BCS conferences, independents, WAC, and MWC players. These are the rules being used in the four Solid Verbal leagues this season.

I should note the draft was carried out according to CBS' default rankings, and would be the results if every player used the autodraft feature and the default rankings.  I would never advise taking a kicker in round 9, but the draft robot (other than the 2-3 elite TEs) chose to fill the teams' TE/DST/K needs in rounds 7-9 before filling out the rosters.

Here is the mock draft, enjoy:

As loyal G1 readers know, I've spent a lot of time trying to sort out truth from myth concerning the Florida Gators 2009 offensive performance, in an attempt to understand what problems must be- and/or will be- overcome by the 2010 unit.

Here is a good summary of those efforts:

Mixed Early Results in The Tebow-NFL Experiment PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Brown   
Wednesday, 18 August 2010

Last weekend was our first glimpse of Tim Tebow as a professional, even if the game was a preseason contest, those other guys on the field were being paid (over the table this time, in the case of former Trojans).

So how did the media and the nation react? And what can we expect heading into his next game, this Saturday against the Lions? What about the 2010 season, his rookie campaign?  And what does this all mean for that juicy football spread you've been eyeing?

I had the opportunity last week to be interviewed by friend of G1 BlatantHomerism on the 2010 Florida Gators football season and the state of the SEC.

BH was recently named to the Twitter 200 (200 college football writers who provide insight via Twitter) by John Walters of AOL Fanhouse. You can subscribe to his podcast on iTunes.

Here is the link where I discuss Florida's WRs, life after Tebow, Urban Meyer's mental health, and the upcoming season.

What happens when you wear a Gator hat, but your job involves covering a different team?

You get fired.

Over the weekend, an Arkansas friend passed along a story of a reporter at Arkansas wearing a Gator hat and being called out by Bobby Petrino.

The story got weirder, as Arkansas fans did their usual crazy thing... and then the reporter was fired.

The number one topic on the minds of Gator fans concerning the 2009 offense's ''troubles'' is red zone efficiency.

Let's take a look at how scoring, offensive efficiency, and red zone efficiency in 2009 compared to other years. What do you expect from the Gator offense in 2010?

Each week last year, I posted weekly suggestions for free agent signings (well, CBS calls them 'walk-ons') for your college fantasy football league.  These were typically players available in most CBS fantasy leagues.

I'll be analyzing the results more thoroughly as we look at the ramifications of the scoring potential of readily-available players, but for now, check out how my average suggestions fared.

Pre-natal Urban Meyer Offense PDF Print E-mail

Tuesday, 10 August 2010

Sticking with a theme from earlier, when I posted this chart showing the evolution of the Urban Meyer offense at Florida from 2005 to 2009, I'm going to show some stats from the 2004 season which help explain where Urban Meyer came from and what he had to work with in the early part of his tenure.

Here are similar stats for 2004 Utah, 2004 Indiana (where current UF OC Steve Addazio was the OC) and 2004 Florida (where we were stuck in Zook mediocrity with Larry Fedora calling the plays).
