2. Florida “upsets” Georgia

Watching Florida hang with Alabama until the final whistle in Week 3 was impressive. It showed that the Gators may not have the most solidified quarterback position but they match up well everywhere else.

The Gators are 3-1 on the year and still ranked near the top 10 nationally but I think the month of October will be even better.

Florida has an interesting, yet tough, schedule before facing Georgia the day before Halloween and if they can get through it unscathed, this battle on Oct. 30 will be one of the best of the season.

Georgia might be ranked No. 1 by that point and Florida will undoubtedly move up a few spots with a few conference wins, but this will be the game everyone talks about in October.

Everyone and their brother might be picking Georgia in this one and that’s fair given how well the Bulldogs have played this season but I think the Gators will catch everyone off guard and pull off the upset here.

Anthony Richardson is going to have a monster game and shock the nation as the Gators beat the Bulldogs again.
