Florida has been in a great spot for 2028 CB Dominick Harris-Payne for some time now.

The Gators are still a frontrunner, but new competition is emerging. 👀

“It just kind of just opened my eyes.”

Is a title-or-bust view of this season poison for No. 1 Florida?

“We’re leaning into it," Todd Golden says. "Last year, I’m not sure we were ready for all the expectation. But I think this team’s ready for it. We’re not running from the No. 1 target."

Florida's LJ McCray named SEC Co-DL of the Week for performance vs. Texas. @Swamp_247: https://t.co/z22tmpWtRj

[Zach Goodall @zach_goodall]

Even Jon Sumrall knows his response was a "word salad." Yet his answer about where Florida goes at QB after upsetting Texas with Tramell Jones Jr. was revealing nonetheless.

"I know that's going to be everybody's question, probably." Column @Swamp_247: https://t.co/PPNJ7CwTSo

FINAL (OT): Baylor knocks off the projected No. 1-ranked team, Florida, in a preseason exhibition, winning 82-76 in Jacksonville.

Kayden Mingo was fantastic, with 31 points, eight rebounds and four assists.

Florida will wrap up its preseason slate against Stetson next week.

We're headed to OT in Jacksonville

[Graham Hall @GrahamHall]

Denzel Aberdeen ties the game at 68-68 with .3 seconds remaining.

Unless Baylor pulls off a miracle coming out of the timeout, we are heading to overtime in Jacksonville.
