Though the Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conference kick off their seasons on Saturday, the Southeastern Conference is still three weeks away from its opening weekend.
But The Athletic already released its season preview for the conference, including projected orders of finish for both divisions.
However, they once again expect the Gators to fall short of rival Georgia in the SEC East, projecting Florida to finish second behind the Bulldogs. UGA has won three-straight SEC East titles, and UF coach Dan Mullen has yet to score a victory over the cross-border foe in his first two years.
Here’s the justification The Athletic gave for placing Florida second.
Florida has won 10 games in each of Dan Mullen’s first two years as coach and brings back quarterback Kyle Trask, who proved plenty capable in 2019. If anyone can catch Georgia in the SEC East standings, it will likely be the Gators.
And here is the full projected SEC East standings.
