Florida’s schedule is not the best it could be for maximizing the number of wins the team has in 2019. If it was, then the Gators would’ve played someone like Miami (OH) instead of Miami (FL) and drawn Arkansas instead of Auburn as the rotating West team. It also would’ve put UF on the road against struggling Tennessee and FSU teams to get LSU in the Swamp.
But for as wonky as it is with three open dates and two FCS opponents in September and all the rest, the schedule has provided UF with what it needs when it has needed it.
