With one third of their regular season done and dusted, the Florida Gators do not have a particularly difficult schedule the last two thirds of this season, especially by SEC standards.
Playing in the relatively woeful East, the Gators still have slated matchups against a mediocre Missouri, rebuilding South Carolina, and a truly abysmal Vanderbilt team. Their two remaining non-conference games are against FCS Samford and maybe the worst Florida State in modern history. Outside of the Cocktail Party, Florida will be favored in every game it plays the rest of the year.
That’s why Saturday in Lexington is so important.
