After blowing out Florida State to bring its regular-season record to 9-3, Florida was rewarded by the College Football Playoff ranking committee.
The Gators moved up two spots to No. 9 in Tuesday’s updated CFP poll, making them nearly assured for one of the 12 New Year’s Six bowl spots available (minus the four playoff spots). All that’s left is to await the release of the final rankings of the season on Dec. 2 to see where they land.
Making that major bowl was one of the first things on the Gators’ minds following the conclusion of their regular season.
