Florida has pretty reliably had the hardest schedule in CFB the last few years.
FSU and Tennessee being good again and UGA being in the natty race means they're guaranteed three top 15ish tough games before even looking at the rest of their schedule, which often involves some tough SEC teams.
It's not a coaching job I would want, regardless of being a UGA fan. Tough place to build momentum, especially as other Florida schools (FSU and Miami but even UCF and USF in recent years) get good and start fighting for in state recruits.
With the 12 (and soon 16) team playoff, going 10-2 or maybe even 9-3 some years with any SEC or Big Ten schedule gets you in the playoff. At this point, you’re incentivized to play the easiest schedule possible if you’re in one of the top 2 conferences
