No. 14 Utah
See also: 2023 Utah Utes football team

The season-opening matchup against Utah was notable for it being the Gators' first non-conference true road game outside the state of Florida since a 38-21 loss to Syracuse in the 1991 season.[2][3] With the loss, the Gators' most recent non-conference road win outside the state of Florida remains a 38-13 win at Memphis State on September 23, 1989. They also had not played a road game west of the Rocky Mountains since a 1983 game at USC. [4]
