Florida football 'could be a fringe CFP squad' per Sports Illustrated
Florida football could be one of the most intriguing teams in the SEC this season. In his 2025 SEC football preview, Sports Illustrated's Bryan Fischer lists the Florida Gators among the programs capable of making noise in the College Football Playoff race. The Gators' hopes start with sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway. If he can stay healthy, then the Orange and Blue have the offensive firepower to compete with the league's heavyweights. As detailed by Fischer, Lagway is the key to Florida's success. Florida's 2025 schedule ranks among the most difficult in college football, featuring showdowns with Georgia, LSU and Texas. With head coach Billy Napier facing a make-or-break season, Fischer believes the Gators have the potential to be a "fringe CFP squad" if they maximize their talent and steer clear of critical missteps. Florida's positioned to emerge as a potential disruptor in the SEC's pecking order. For the Gators to contend, they'll need to combine resilience and good health with a few timely breaks along the way. Here is everything Fischer wrote in his 2025 preview for the Florida Gators. What SI said about Florida "It's a big if, but if QB DJ Lagway can stay healthy, the Gators at least have a shot at making some noise despite playing one of the nation's toughest schedules. There are great linemen like tackle Austin Barber back, a tailback in Jadan Baugh who is just scratching the surface at what he can do and a defense that is low on big names but heavy on dependable play every down," Fischer offers. "Billy Napier is firmly on the hot seat, but if Florida can catch a few breaks and play closer to its ceiling than its floor, this could be a fringe CFP squad."

Which bowl game will Florida football play in? CBS Sports casts its preseason predictions
The 2025 college football campaign is just around the corner as the nation's gridiron warriors prepare for battle this fall. The US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 have both been released — as well as a tidal wave of other rankings and projections — giving everyone a decent idea of what is in store for the next few months. While a single snap has yet to be played, many are already looking ahead to the postseason, which is headlined by the College Football Playoffs as well as the traditional lineup of bowl games. The goal of each program is to crack the 12-team CFP field, but if they cannot, then the next best thing is to earn an invitation to a prestigious bowl matchup. Coming into the season, the Florida Gators are seen as an outsider with a chance of making the playoffs — but a lot of things must go right for the Orange and Blue. Most importantly, sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway must stay healthy if Billy Napier's job as head coach is going to remain secure — but there are plenty of other issues too. So, where do the preseason prognostications have Florida playing this coming December? CBS Sports writer Brad Crawford offered up his outlook on the postseason field, leaving the Gators out of the playoffs but competing in a familiar venue. Crawford predicts that Napier and Co. will battle Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels in the Gator Bowl held in Jacksonville, Florida, on Dec. 27. Florida football's history in the Gator Bowl The Gators have won seven of their nine all-time appearances in the Gator Bowl dating back to Jan. 1, 1953, when they beat the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 14-13. The only two losses came against the Ole Miss Rebels (7-3, Dec. 27, 1958) and the Maryland Terrapins (13-0, Dec. 29, 1975), while the most recent appearance ended in a 24-17 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Jan. 2, 2012.

Florida football's Jake Slaughter named to CBS Sports Preseason All-America team
Florida football redshirt senior center Jake Slaughter was named to CBS Sports' Preseason All-American first team, making him the lone Gator on the prestigious list released Wednesday. Slaughter, an Ocala native, is coming off a dominant 2024 season in which he started all 13 games, logged a team-high 728 snaps and earned first-team AP All-American honors. At 6-foot-5-inches and 303 pounds, Slaughter has been a steady force in the middle of Florida's offensive line. His leadership is just as valuable as his physical play, with teammates voting him a team captain heading into 2025. Anchoring the line in front of quarterback DJ Lagway will be crucial for a Florida team looking to reach the postseason. With one of the most challenging schedules in the country, having an experienced leader like Slaughter calling protections could be the difference in close matchups. CBS Sports noted that the SEC led all conferences with 11 selections on the preseason team, underscoring the week-to-week challenge the Gators face. Slaughter joins an elite group of players from across the league, reinforcing his status among the best at his position in college football. Here is everything CBS Sports' John Talty wrote about the Florida football center. What CBS Sports said about Slaughter "Slaughter had a terrific 2024 season for the Gators, logging a team-high 728 snaps in 13 starts and earning first-team Associated Press All-American honors. The 6-foot-5, 303-pound redshirt senior was the only center last season to earn 80-plus grades as both a pass and run blocker, according to Pro Football Focus. "He's big, strong, moves well for his size, doesn't get easily caught off guard and has earned consistent praise from his teammates for his hard work, which included voting him as team captain. He's the anchor of a unit charged with protecting star quarterback DJ Lagway, a paramount task if the Gators are going to match their lofty preseason expectations."
