There is still quite a bit of time between now and November when the college basketball season starts back up but there is no better time than the present to prognosticate upon the many possibilities that a fresh campaign brings. For the Florida Gators, the 2022-23 schedule represents a pivot away from the [autotag]Mike White[/autotag] era into the [autotag]Todd Golden[/autotag] age as the latter looks to restore the luster of the Orange and Blue.
In the last update from ESPN’s Joe Lunardi back in mid-May, the Gators sat in the No. 9 seed in the Midwest, which is centered in Kansas City. However, this time around Florida fell out of the main bracket back into the periphery in the First Four Out group — essentially where it was prior to the previous update. UF is joined by Wyoming, St. John’s and Notre Dame teetering on the edge of contention.
Lunardi’s current bracket features eight schools from the Big Ten, seven from both the SEC and Big 12, and six from the ACC and Big East, while the Pac-12 has four and the Mountain West, WCC, American and Atlantic 10 all have two teams in the mix.
