Anyone else worried about the prospect of playing UCF in a New Year's 6 bowl?

A matchup nightmare for our secondary. I wanna get Iowa or Wisconsin or some scrubs from the big10 in the citrus bowl.

No. Next question.

You honestly think our Gators have a shot at a New Year's 6 bowl game? That possibility vanished after Missouri.
There’s definitely a possibility. We’ll be 13th at worst this week, and top 12 almost guarantees you a NY6 game. Would be nice if LSU would drop a game the next two weeks though. I’d say at worst we’re looking at the Outback.

I don't want to go bowling with any team that has a strong passing game, especially not one with a DT QB.

That said, I believe we would find a way to win against UCF, so I can't say that I'm worried about it.

@ox - Jerry Palm has us forecast in the Fiesta against UCF, so I guess it's "possible". Depends on how the teams in front of us do the rest of this year, and assumes we win out.

I worry about us not caring about the bowl and losing to a UCF team like Auburn last year

Officially, no. Unofficially, I don't think our defense could stop their offense much. I'd not sure their defense could stop our run game. So it would be interesting. Losing to them though would be a major set back for this program though

Frankly, I don't want to do anything to help them by playing them in a bowl or them going to a bowl at all for that matter. They are competition, especially in the future. We have plenty of that already.

No. Read the board. They want passing. Actually, thought you were in that boat yourself.
527 total yards with only 160 passing is just unacceptable.
Sigh. Eventually if we want to compete for titles, we're going to have to be able to throw the ball downfield. I didn't think this was a difficult concept.

No.

Not acting like we’d definitely beat them - they’re good - but not worried either. We could run for 400 on them.

Not sure how it will all play out. But not so sure that would be a matchup we get.
