Florida is projected to play either South Florida or Baylor in bowl games after suffering back-to-back losses, according to ESPN. Following a recent loss to South Carolina, the Gators have fallen out of the College Football Playoff picture and are now expected to compete in lesser bowls like the Gasparilla Bowl or the Liberty Bowl. This shift in postseason expectations comes after a promising start that included a win over Ole Miss. Florida faces a tough schedule ahead, with a game against No. 6 Texas next on the list, as they aim to avoid a three-game losing streak.
