Even the most casual University of Florida fan has the final Saturday in October marked on their calendar.
This weekend, the Gators take on the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs in one of the most storied rivalries in college football. The historic matchup is so fierce that it has been traditionally held at a neutral site — particularly Jacksonville, Florida.
This year, the Orange and Blue travel to TIAA Bank Field sitting just outside of the US LBM Coaches Poll as well as the Associated Press Poll top 25. Billy Napier and Co. have a steep hill to climb in taking out their most fierce rival in the final season of the Southeastern Conference East division.
Ahead of the Week 9 matchup, the Gators Wire crew, along with former Gators Jevon Kearse and Thaddeus Bullard, a.k.a. WWE’s Titus O’Neil, assembled to provide their expert opinions on what to expect this coming weekend. True to a rivalry matchup, the predictions were all over the place so be sure to also check the composite prediction at the bottom as well.
