It has been well documented that the Gators 2024 schedule is a ruthless collection of teams. But their 2023 slate is no slouch either.

Florida will play 5 teams ranked in the top 15 of the preseason AP poll. And they also must face Vanderbilt and Kentucky who beat them last year.

It’s safe to say that this is no easy task but there is some optimism around head coach Billy Napier’s second year.

Graham Mertz has elevated himself into the starting job in Gainesville and there has been positive buzz from fall camp.

Maybe he’ll be better than his 2022 campaign at Wisconsin which included a 57% completion percentage and 19 touchdowns to 11 interceptions.

For them to take on their schedule that will be there only hope.
