Projected seed: 2
Florida's strong season is underscored by impressive victories against solid competition, such as North Carolina and Arizona State, which demonstrate their ability to compete at a high level. Their offensive efficiency is among the best in the nation, with high-scoring outputs against weaker opponents and competitive games against tougher teams like Florida State and Virginia. However, the defense has been a concern, particularly shown in games where they struggled against higher-ranking offenses, like against Tennessee. Upcoming matchups against top-10 teams like Kentucky and Tennessee will be critical; winning these could cement their status as a top seed, but losses may raise questions about their defensive capabilities, especially in the highly competitive Southeastern Conference.
