Dooley’s Dozen: 12 things Florida football must do to make the CFP

Here are 12 things that need to happen for the Gators to play in the College Football Playoff in 2023.

Now that “talking season” is in full bloom and the radio shows and podcasts are alternating between tired old stories and favorite snack food debates, we know that it will not be the Summer of Love for Florida football.

The over/under is 5.5? When was the last time Florida was not expected to have a .500 season?

But these guys can be wrong and there is optimism over at the Hev (as I call the $85 million Heavener Center) that this team will be better than the so-called experts believe it will be.

So, let’s let a little sunshine in on this season before it gets so close we can smell the Fireball and Red Bull. Let’s imagine a world where Florida makes the last College Football Playoff with only four teams.

Dooley’s Dozen gives you 12 things that need to happen for that to happen, and it they happen it will be happening.
