How will the Florida College Football teams fare in 2016? Pretty good assuming that the oddsmakers are correct.
From the New York Times:
Florida State may be the defending national champion from two years ago and Miami may have the most championships among state teams, but Florida bleeds Gator orange-and-blue. Gator territory extends from its north-central stronghold into all parts of the state except the panhandle, which is Seminole territory, and of course the Miami area. Perhaps most impressive, Florida also claims much of northern New England. And props to Central Florida, last season’s top-ranked midmajor, for carving out a pocket in and around Orlando, where its campus is.
This year’s Gators team had decent odds of winning the National Championship at 45-1 but FSU had the best odds at 9-1 (4th shortest) while Miami was coming in at 60-1.
Florida was favored to win OVER 8 regular season games (-140). FSU was favored to win OVER 10 (-120). Miami was overpriced at -300 to win OVER 7 regular season games in 2016.
