Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Info
The Gators will make the trip to Atlanta where they will play No. 7 Michigan in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl on Dec. 29, 2018. The game is scheduled to kick off at 12 p.m. ET and will be televised on ESPN.
The Gators have played in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl just two times. The Gators fell to West Virginia in 1982, 26-6, and lost to Miami (FL) in 2004, 27-10.
Florida's No. 10 ranking is its highest at the conclusion of the regular season since the Gators sat third after the 2012 regular season. With a win in the bowl game, the Gators would record their 10th win in a single season for the 15th time in program history and first since 2015. Meanwhile, Dan Mullen would become the 11th coach in SEC history to win 10 games in his first season, and he would join Gus Malzahn (2013) as the only other man to do it after inheriting a team that won fewer than five games the year prior to his arrival
Florida (9-3, 5-3 SEC) will be facing Michigan (10-2, 8-1 B1G) for the fifth time in school history, with three of the four matchups coming in postseason bowl games. The Wolverines have defeated the Gators in all four meetings.
