The rundown

A nightmare of a 2021 regular season comes to an end on Saturday for Florida, as the Gators will welcome their arch, in-state rival Florida State Seminoles into The Swamp with bowl game eligibility on the line for both programs.

While the eyes of Florida faithful are on their phones, waiting for an announcement on the UF next head coach following Dan Mullen's ousting from the position, the Gators have a game to play, in a rivalry renewed with a goal of sending the team's seniors out on a high note. 

Florida State, meanwhile, has been trending toward ending the year with momentum over its last seven games, going 5-2 in that stretch. The Seminole are just as anxious to beat the Gators as UF is to defeat FSU, as Florida State has not topped Florida since 2017 when a five-game winning streak was snapped.
