Florida and college football have a scheduling problem

The Gators released their 2020 football schedule on Wednesday, and from the looks of it, UF fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

Florida has a total of three “gimme games” on its schedule in the form of Eastern Washington (FCS), South Alabama (Sun Belt) and New Mexico State (independent). Georgia and LSU remain its toughest opposition, but the out of division opponent – Ole Miss – isn’t exactly prime competition for a team that appears to be a 10-win squad.

The problem here is a problem with almost every Power 5 college football team: The scheduling is detrimental to the product as a whole.
