Florida Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Gators miss from the SEC West?
Any year you can miss Alabama is a good one. Florida doesn’t have to face the Crimson Tide, but the jury is out on whether or not – relatively speaking – not playing Mississippi State or Auburn will be a good thing in 2022. The Gators don’t have face Arkansas or Ole Miss, either, but …

The second half is a monster, home games against Utah and Eastern Washington are hardly givens, and back-to-back dates against Georgia and Texas A&M will be rough.
But again, there’s no Alabama. LSU is going to be an SEC X factor – to be nice, more like an enigma for now – Florida State still might need a while, and there’s no one on the slate – at least until the Georgia game – that Florida can’t and shouldn’t beat if everything is working.
However, if Billy Napier has Florida even close to being merely decent, six wins won’t be a problem as long as the home wins are banked early on.
