Florida shifts bowl projections to Las Vegas after loss to Oklahoma
Summary

Florida's bowl destination has changed after a loss to Oklahoma. The Gators (5-4) are now projected to face Arizona in the Las Vegas Bowl on December 31, according to USA TODAY Sports. This follows their recent 23-7 defeat, which altered their postseason outlook. Previously, Florida was expected to meet Louisville in the Gator Bowl. Despite needing one more win to ensure bowl eligibility, Florida's recent performance under Jon Sumrall indicates potential for a postseason appearance.
