Florida Gators football is projected to meet in-state rival South Florida in the Cure Bowl, according to CBS Sports. This would be Florida's return to postseason play after a four-year absence. The Gators, now under new head coach Jon Sumrall, aim to restore their SEC competitiveness and improve their program's trajectory. Florida holds a 3-1 record against South Florida since 2010, but lost to the Bulls in their last matchup.
