Charlemagne42 8 It wasn't enough to beat Georgia. It wasn't enough to beat FSU. The committee said, show us again, and put you right back up against FSU, winner plays Georgia.

Jon Sumrall was in the CFP last year with Tulane, but this year he has a much more talent roster. Let's see if he will surprise the SEC. Most of his big games are in the swamp.

lowes18 22 Florida returns a great defense from 2025, one that was statistically phenomenal before the wheels fell off the bus on the team during the seasons mid-way point. Florida's new OC, Buster Faulkner, has a lot to prove this year to show he wasn't just running the Haynes King show. If he can get Aaron Philo to live up to offseason hype, and if Florida's offensive skill positions can stay healthy, this team could potentially compete for a playoff spot.

MisguidedPassion 20 Big believer in Sumrall. Similar to Cignetti - winners win. Middle of the schedule is dicey but I like the upside.

noah_divine 22 crazy good roster, really just comes down to 1. how good Aaron Philo is (or Tramell Jones Jr.), 2. how good Jon Sumrall can adapt to the SEC, and 3. if they can survive the bloodbath that is the SEC
