Comments
This game pits Florida, which struggled earlier in the season but now is on a winning streak, against Florida which is in absolute disarray with its head coach and defensive coordinator both ousted. The Swamp can be a very intimidating environment to play in for a visiting team. However, I believe that with the Seminoles being on the upswing and the mess going on with Florida, Florida State should prevail in a close one.
