Florida ranks 13th in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency (AdjO) and 6th in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency (AdjD), making them a championship contender. They score 124.2 points per 100 possessions and play elite defense, allowing them to control games. Georgia, meanwhile, is 34th in AdjO but just 62nd in AdjD, making their defense a weakness. Florida’s diverse offense, with Rueben Chinyelu inside and Thomas Haugh outside, should overwhelm Georgia’s limited defensive personnel. The absence of Georgia guard Jeremiah Wilkinson (Illness)—their leader at 17.1 PPG and 1.8 SPG—magnifies this edge. With Wilkinson out, Georgia’s offense drops by about 8.4 points per 100 possessions. Florida’s non-conference schedule ranks 35th in difficulty, while Georgia’s is way down at 335. I think Florida gets the season sweep and covers this number.
