Bowl Game Notes

Florida is going into its last game ranked in the top ten for the first time since the 2012 season. The Gators will face No. 7 Michigan for the fifth time in school history and three of the last four games have been in postseason bowl games. Michigan comes into the Peach Bowl with a 10-2 record, which is one win more than Florida.

Michigan has taken home the win in every meeting against the Gators. Florida will look to get its 10th win in a season for the first time since 2015. If they do, it will be the 15th time in program history and the win could also make Mullen the 11th coach in SEC history to win 10 games in his first season as head coach.

The December 29th game is set to kickoff at 12 p.m. EST and will be live on ESPN.
