This year is Florida’s best chance to beat Georgia since 2020. I would’ve said since 2021 if Dan Mullen had made an Alabama-like game plan instead of using the contest to prove a point about starting quarterback selection, but that’s history now.
That doesn’t mean UF is likely to win in Jacksonville. UGA is still the odds-on favorite, and for good reason. Kirby Smart has had his program humming at a high level for the better part of a decade now. Billy Napier only began to figure out how to get out of his own way after this season began, and it’s still very much an ongoing process.
