Gone is Anthony Richardson which means that Florida is going to have to rely on either Wisconsin transfer Graham Mertz or Ohio State transfer Jack Miller to fill that void. And that’s a scary thought because neither has really been great at the collegiate level.

The Gators should have it all figured out by this point in the season, however, and the rest of the team will be solid regardless of quarterback play.

I think Arkansas puts up a fight, but Florida gets the win.

Prediction: Loss (5-4, 2-4)

This is a game that has been fun to watch over the past few years and it all started with a controversial “spike” a couple of years ago which gave the Tigers a win when Bo Nix actually fumbled the ball instead. Either way, we’re going to forget that happened and give Arkansas a win here for its troubles.

The Razorbacks are due a win over the Tigers and this will be just that, especially with Auburn potentially breaking in a new quarterback from Michigan State in Payton Thorne.

Bowl berth secured.

Prediction: Win (6-4, 3-4)
