They’ve won 10 games, captured the SEC’s Eastern Division championship, and now the Florida Gators will conclude a successful first season under Jim McElwain playing in a New Year’s Day bowl.
Florida (10-3) on Sunday accepted an invitation to face Michigan (9-3) in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
It is a match-up between two traditional programs that have had rebound seasons and are on the rise under new head coaches. The Wolverines became relevant again in the Big Ten under former NFL coach Jim Harbaugh.
