CBS Sports projects Florida for Citrus Bowl after Week 7 Texas win
After securing a signature road win over Texas in Week 7, CBS Sports now projects Florida football to play in the Citrus Bowl against Iowa.
After a Week 7 upset victory over Texas, Florida's playoff prospects have significantly improved. The Gators had been near contention for a College Football Playoff bid following their strong start to the season, but a two-game losing streak dampened those hopes. CBS Sports analyst Brad Crawford projects the team will play in the Citrus Bowl against Iowa, set for January 2, 2027, in Orlando.
This would be the Gators' sixth appearance at the Citrus Bowl, with two wins and four losses. The team and Iowa have met four times previously, all in bowl games, with Florida winning three of those matchups.
