Bowl game projections...

[Gator Fever]

I saw a couple of places where if WV ends up the loser in the Big 12 Championship game that the Peach Bowl could be them vs. the Gators.

That would be an interesting storyline but I think it would be a very bad matchup for us with our secondary right now.

Yeah I have seen some projections where we play in the Outback Bowl vs Iowa or the Belk Bowl vs Pitt.

They are going to match us up with the fighting Urbs

I agree, any pass happy team is not good news for us, especially if they use their TE or backs out of the backfield, seems we forget they are part of the offense.

Beat the clowns, 9-3 should get us a good bowl, just hope the matchup is good too.

That would be one they would like also. I hope they beat Michigan again instead.

Grier would easily top 400 yards on us.

West Va needs a better match than us.

I saw us as an at large in the Fiesta against the Sooners. No one knows at this point.

We'd get destroyed in this matchup as well, but OK doesn't have much of a defense. Maybe we could just pound them and keep their offense off the field, but they likely score every time they touch the ball on Grantham's defense.

I'd welcome a match-up with UCF. They're nowhere close to comprable with LSU, MSU, or SC. If the Gators are on their game that weekend, UCF would be humiliated, and I would fully expect Dan to have that team up to speed for his first bowl game as the Gators HC.

It's almost a certainty we'll finish 9-3 and in the top 12. After that, so much depends on what everyone else does, it's impossible to project who or where we'll be playing.

 

[Alumni Guy]

Did somebody say Belk Bowl!

 

[Bama&GatorFan]

It is all about the money, so they should match West Virginia with the Gators. That would make for the most drama.

Rematch of either 1981 Peach Bowl in the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, an absolute debacle (Pell said he hid the game tape under a rock so it wouldn't be viewed) or 1993 Sugar Bowl, where UF and Spurrier's best team (up to that point in time) absolutely annihilated the Mountaineers. Which would it be?

Finish in Top 12 of Football Playoff Rankings, and you are guaranteed a "New Year's Six" game. I have read Fiesta against UCF (Jerry Palm of CBS predicts this) but neither team would travel that far west. I imagine a NY6 game would more likely be Peach on Sat Dec 29 (I'd go), I'm not sure against UCF. Would PB Committee want them two years in a row?

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Big 12 is tied into the Sugar against SEC. I still don't see LSU, UGA, and us all three getting NY6 bids.

Us against Northwestern in the Citrus seems feasible.

ICYMI.....

 

[Bait'n Gator]

We're currently at #13, win out and we'll most likely be around 10 or 11. Which would guarantee a NY6 bowl. I personally want UCF.

Wow, can you imagine the beatdown we would take?
