The Gators were one of six SEC teams ranked, slotting behind No. 1 Alabama, No. 7 Tennessee, No. 8 LSU, No. 10 Ole Miss and No. 17 Georgia. Alabama and UT were picked to meet in the SEC Championship Game, with the Crimson Tide predicted to win the league.
On UF, Athlon Sports said …
“The defense is still among the best in the SEC, but Florida has to find some answers on offense after averaging 12.6 points over the final six games of 2015. Oregon State transfer Luke Del Rio is expected to start at quarterback.”
