Florida Gators predicted to finish 9-3 in 2026 season

The Florida Gators are projected to have a 9-3 overall record and a 6-3 SEC record in the upcoming 2026 college football season. With Jon Sumrall as the new head coach, the program looks to rebound from a disappointing 2024 season that ended with an 8-5 record. The Athletic ranked Florida as a top-six team for the season, which marks a potential improvement from past years. Several key players have been retained while new talent has been brought in through the transfer portal. Florida's upcoming schedule includes a nine-game SEC slate, which adds to the season's competitiveness.
