In trashing Napier and the Gators, the author finds an interesting (and rare) comparison, one that might have been more accurate if it also described the prior 40 years of each Coach’s respective football program:

“I’m trying to brainstorm active coaches who started 11-15 and went on to enjoy long, productive tenures. Kentucky’s Mark Stoops comes to mind. Stoops won nine of his first 26 games before settling in.

When Florida hired Napier, Gators fans weren’t hoping for another Stoops. And Napier isn’t Stoops. His Gators don’t play half the defense Kentucky does.”

That’s the Coach’s Poll. UK not getting as much love in the AP - 18th in others receiving votes. Great chance this week on ABC to jump into the top 25 with an impressive showing against USCjr.

Cards are 24/22 in the polls. It’s a legit question as to why, if that’s the case, that UK isn’t at least 23/21….

But … the REAL polls from the selection committee do not come out until November 5th….
