SI now projects Florida to play in this Tampa-based bowl game

Two straight losses — including the recent humbling on homecoming at the hands of the South Carolina Gamecocks — have Florida football falling in the postseason predictions after Week 6. Not long ago, the Gators were projected for a College Football Playoff appearance; now, they are back with the rest of the pack among the mid-tier bowl games. According to Sports Illustrated staff writer Bryan Fischer in his latest bowl game projections , Jon Sumrall and Co. are expected to participate in the ReliaQuest Bowl against Penn State.
