Each week during the 2014 football season Inside the Gators will post a link in the Alley so that subscribers to the site can share their thoughts on Florida Football. The first poll was taken from Monday through Friday morning of this week. For each question, respondents had four different choices, Strongly Approve, Approve, Disapprove and Strongly Disapprove.

This is in no way, shape or form to be viewed as a scientific poll or a comprehensive look at how the Gator Nation views Florida football, its players and coaches.
It is simply a fun look at how attitudes and outlooks change over the course of a football season.

COMMENT: Although Muschamp has repeatedly praised not only individuals, but the group as a whole, the approval ratings are still lagging with less than six in 10 respondents giving the wide outs a passing mark. The good news is, only 2% strongly disapprove, meaning a good outing or two would help shift opinion tremendously.
COMMENT: Coming off Florida's worst record in three decades, this is actually a better showing than might have been expected. Overall, the voters have a positive outlook on Florida football. However, be cautioned, the approval ranking is lukewarm with only 7.5% voicing strong approval of the program while almost 10% strongly disapprove. Those in the middle will determine how much this rating fluctuates from week-to-week.
