Florida Gators head coach Jim McElwain’s inaugural season as the headman in Gainesville was by all accounts a success. A 10-win season is nothing to scoff at and certainly not something that anybody in good conscience would say they predicted before the season began.
When you dig deeper into Florida’s schedule, while 10-wins is still impressive, the number could begin to seem like fool’s gold, propped up by beating bad teams.
Of Florida’s 10 wins, only three came against teams that finished the 2015 season with a winning record (Tennessee, Ole Miss, Georgia) and the record of those 10 opponents was just 57-66.
