Florida has played in the SEC Championship Game four times in the past 13 years, but last won the title in 2008.

The Gators are not projected to end the drought this season, but their chances are better than most teams in the league according to Bet Online.

It released the opening odds to win the SEC Championship and Florida has the fourth best odds of winning the conference title game in 2022.

Alabama tops the list at 1/1, followed by Georgia (5/4) and Texas A&M (11/1). The odds for Florida and Ole Miss are both 33/1, with Kentucky (40/1), Tennessee (40/1) and LSU (50/1) rounding out the top seven.

The Gators finished 6-7 last season and had the second-worst conference record (2-6). That marked their fewest league victories since 1986, which was also the last time UF went winless in SEC road games.

“We’re a work in progress. We’re a year one football outfit right now. There’s a lot of learning going on,” Florida coach Billy Napier said in spring. “We just need reputations. We’ve gotten a lot so far. We need more. I don’t think I’d ever stand up here and say that’s not the case.

“This is college football. It’s a developmental game and you’ve got a new team every year. We’re going to work on ways to solve the problems that we do have and make the best of each situation and go play a brand of football that fits this team and the dynamics within this team.”
