14. Florida Gators
Week 3 Ranking: 9
Week 3 Result: 20-10 loss @ LSU
Did anyone expect to see Florida this low in any ranking this season? The Gators entered the 2025 season with a lot of hype after ending last season as one of the hottest teams in the country. Unfortunately the Gators are already 1-2, and their schedule doesn't get any easier.
It is hard to imagine anything worse than losing to USF like they did in week two, but DJ Lagway's performance against LSU on Saturday was potentially the worst game from an SEC quarterback so far this year. Lagway did complete 33 passes for 287 yards and a touchdown, but he had a whopping five interceptions. If his ball security continues to be that bad then the Gators may not win another game this season.
The Florida defense does deserve some credit though because giving up 20 points on the road against the No. 3 team in the country with that many turnovers from their offense is pretty good.
Unfortunately for Florida, they are about to start the year 1-3 because there is no chance they go to Miami and leave with a victory against the No. 4 Hurricanes.
Week 4 Opponent: @ Miami (FL)
