College football season is getting underway as the days of August wane into the autumn season. Among the many schools preparing for their gridiron grinds this coming fall are the Florida Gators, who are headed by second-year head coach Billy Napier.
Last season was a tough pill for the program to swallow, falling to its second-straight losing season — the first time since 1978-79 — and the upcoming campaign does not appear to be much easier. Much of the sports media projects the Orange and Blue’s schedule to be among the most difficult in the nation, much less the Southeastern Conference.
ESPN’s Chris Low and Alex Scarborough put together their 2023 college football conference outlook for the SEC, which included a few entries on the Gators. Take a look below at what the pair had to offer on Florida’s uphill battle in the nation’s premier football conference, along with their other takes as well.
