Projection: next four out
Florida’s résumé pairs signature neutral wins with costly neutral and true road defeats, which explains the team’s precarious position. The Gators have beaten quality opponents on neutral courts, notably Miami and Providence, and they defended their home court against Florida State, showing they can handle good teams. But neutral setbacks at Arizona and TCU and the narrow defeat at Duke on the road undercut those gains and prevent the résumé from feeling settled. The stretch of conference play still presents important chances to improve with road trips at Missouri, Oklahoma and Kentucky and high‑profile home dates against Tennessee, LSU, Auburn and Alabama where road and neutral wins would change the picture. Voters will weigh the high‑end neutral victories and the Duke road performance against the blemishes from those high‑profile neutral losses and the lack of consistent true road success, so Florida’s fate comes down to how it finishes the regular season.
