## Resource

From On3’s Chris Low to CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli, national takes keep landing on the same name: Florida as a 2026 College Football Playoff dark horse. David Waters digs into why analysts are buying in on Jon Sumrall’s Gators—and what a realistic path to the bracket actually looks like.
