Through three games, we know a lot about the Gators, while at the same time there are still a ton of question marks. Part of what makes things difficult to evaluate is that we have yet to see Florida take on one of the genuine big dogs of 2026. FAU rebounded to pick up a couple of wins, but they are still outside the top 100 of the Jeff Sagarin rankings. Campbell is actually on the verge of being ranked in FCS, but they are still FCS at the end of the day. And it is tough to get a read on just how good Auburn is going to be in 2026.
There is no mistaking that Ole Miss is one of the big dogs of 2026 and today is a chance for the Gators to become a big dog too.

This is after the same Gator team that went 4-8 last year and has a defense that has struggled to stop FAU and Auburn. Now that Trinidad Chambliss is coming to town, one has to shudder at the thought of Ole Miss going down the field with next to no resistance.
