Florida Football: 3 bold predictions for Gators in 2021
3. Florida wins at least 10 in the regular season
Mullen came to Florida and immediately turned around the gators after a 4-win season in 2017. Florida has been to three consecutive New Year’s Six Bowl games and reached the SEC title game.
Obviously, close is not good enough and at a program like Florida, which hasn’t won an SEC championship in over a decade, SEC East titles and quality bowl berths won’t cut it much longer.
At the very least though, Mullen and the Gators will keep their winning ways going as Florida will manage a tough schedule and win at least 10 games in the regular season.
It’s hard to predict Florida to win at Alabama, so that seems like a probable defeat. There are also games at LSU, South Carolina, Missouri, and Kentucky which won’t be a given.
However, after a disappointing loss to the Tigers, I feel like Florida will get a little payback and find a way to win at LSU. Mullen has won enough big games that the Gators will win at least one this year, which will guarantee Florida another berth in a top-tier bowl game.

A win over Georgia would deliver the SEC East title and as long as Jones delivers a stellar season, this team will be good enough to get past the Bulldogs again.
