Gators picked to finish fourth in SEC East in Preseason Poll
The Florida Gators were picked to finish fourth in the SEC East, as voted on by members of the media.
The Gators are coming off one of their worst seasons in recent years. Florida’s 2-6 record in SEC play was a new low for the program. The Gators only finished ahead of Vanderbilt, who failed to win a conference game. Florida’s two wins in conference play were its fewest since 1986 when it played just six conference games and went 2-4.
All of that led to Dan Mullen’s firing and the hire of Billy Napier, who is tasked with turning the program around. Napier will kick off his tenure with a tough matchup against the reigning Pac 12 Champions in Utah. The Gators will follow that up against the predicted second best team in the conference in Kentucky, then USF, before a trip to Knoxville.
We’ll know before the end of September if the collective media in Atlanta knew what they were talking about or if the Kentucky and Tennessee hype was unwarranted.
