First-year Florida coach Jon Sumrall has rolled with both to elevate the Gators to 5-2 overall. Florida sits at fourth overall in a crowded and loaded SEC, owning a 5-2 overall mark.
Florida, though, still must win out to hold any type of chance of playing for its first conference title since 2020. That Florida team lost in the shootout with Alabama 52-46. But Florida hasn’t won the SEC crown since a Tim Tebow-led Gators claimed the top in 2008, also the last time the Gators won the national title.
Florida ranks 17th in the ESPN Football Power Index (FPI) as of Wednesday. But owns a 16.9 percent chance of making the 12-team College Football Playoffs, which would mark a second straight appearance for Sumrall after taking Tulane there in 2025. Florida also owns a 2.3 percent chance to win the SEC.
They must snap a long five-game losing streak against their annual rival Georgia to get there. Sumrall remains mum about who will start versus the Bulldogs.
