The Florida Gators enter a new chapter under interim coach Billy Gonzales when they face the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday in Jacksonville. The annual rivalry known as the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” arrives at a crossroads for both programs — one searching for stability, the other chasing playoff relevance. Florida (3-4, 2-2 SEC) dismissed Billy Napier following a 23-21 win over Mississippi State, turning to longtime assistant Gonzales for the remainder of the season. His first task is monumental: halting Georgia’s dominance in the series. The Bulldogs have won four straight and seven of the past eight matchups, often by lopsided margins.

The Texas Longhorns return home after a month-long road swing to face the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday in a pivotal SEC matchup with major College Football Playoff implications. Texas (6-2, 3-1 SEC) pulled off a dramatic 45-38 overtime victory at Mississippi State last week, but the win came at a cost. Quarterback Arch Manning suffered a concussion on the first snap of overtime, leaving his status uncertain for this week’s home clash. Backup Matthew Caldwell delivered the game-winning touchdown pass to Emmett Mosley V, sealing the comeback from 17 points down. If Manning is unavailable, Caldwell will make his first Texas start. Coach Steve Sarkisian praised his composure and readiness, noting that “he’s played well every time that we’ve put
