National attention is returning to Gainesville as SEC Nation comes to the Swamp for No. 21 Florida's Sept. 26 matchup against No. 4 Ole Miss. After a 3-0 start, it appears new head coach Jon Sumrall has reestablished relevance for a program with rich college football history.
The show will broadcast from Plaza of the Americas and air from 9 a.m. to noon ET on Saturday. SEC Nation expanded to three hours this season after 12 seasons on the air. The current cast includes Matt Barrie, Chase Daniel, Paul Finebaum, Roman Harper, Tim Tebow and Marion Crowder. Marty & McGee will also broadcast from Plaza of the Americas from Noon to 12:45 p.m. ET.
In addition, The Paul Finebaum Show will originate from the same location Friday from 3-7 p.m. ET.
Florida
entered the year unranked and, after just three weeks, is favored by 3.5 points against a top-five team in the country. The Gators have won three straight home games against Ole Miss, including a 24-17 upset of the No. 9 Rebels in 2024. In fact, Florida's last home win over a team ranked No. 4 or higher was its 38-10 blowout victory over Mississippi in 2015.
The two-day affair is likely to be one of Gainesville's biggest football weekends of the season as UF Family Weekend also coincides with a marquee matchup. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday on ABC, with Sean McDonough, Greg McElroy and Katie George on the call.
