Florida's seven Football Bowl Subdivision teams have matched their best start with 11 wins and 3 losses, including four victories over Associated Press-ranked opponents, reflecting stronger performances this season.
- Florida's seven FBS college football teams started the 2025 season with a combined 11-3 record, their best since 2011.
- This strong start follows struggles last November when those teams went 0-6 in one weekend, marking a low point for the state.
- Four state teams, including UCF and South Florida, began 2-0 for the first time since 2016, while Sunshine State teams earned four wins over AP-ranked opponents.
- FAU coach Zach Kittley stated, "There's so much talent," and Miami quarterback Carson Beck emphasized that Florida contributes the best football talent nationwide.
- The current success, underscored by 92 Florida high school players drafted into the NFL over three years, suggests the state is regaining its status as a football powerhouse.
