The Gators are coming off an 8-4 season and enter their fourth season under head coach Dan Mullen picked to finish second in the SEC East behind Georgia. The Gators were unranked in the USA Today preseason poll in Mullen's first season, but they opened at No. 8 the past two years.

Defending national champion Alabama is ranked No. 1, followed by Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Georgia in the top five.

Florida opens the season at home Sept. 4 against Florida Atlantic with a 29-9 record in Mullen's first three seasons. Mullen is one of 65 coaches on the AFCA Board that votes each week to determine the rankings.
