Florida football gets one last chance to earn its sixth victory of the 2023 campaign — a victory that would both assure a .500 regular-season record along with a bowl game berth that gives the team one more chance to play afterward.
Standing in the way of that goal are the Florida State Seminoles, who travel to Gainesville to face the Gators in Week 13. FSU comes in ranked No. 4 in the US LBM Coaches Poll with a perfect 11-0 record. However, this week brings a bit of a wrinkle to a rivalry game that always has surprises in store.
Both programs will be without their starting quarterbacks. For the Noles, Heisman Trophy candidate Jordan Travis is done with his collegiate career after sustaining an ugly leg injury; for the Gators, Graham Mertz is sidelined with a broken clavicle.
Ahead of the in-state rivalry matchup inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, the Gators Wire gang assembled to provide their respective takes on the Week 13 affair. Take a look below at what each of us think along with the composite prediction below.
