Strength of schedule:

Florida State is (8-3) with wins over Ole Miss, Charleston Southern, South Florida, Miami, Wake Forest, NC State, Boston College, and Syracuse.  They were defeated by UNC, Clemson, and Louisville.  Florida is (8-2) with wins over LSU, South Carolina Georgia, Missouri, Vanderbilt, North Texas, Kentucky, and UMass.  Their losses came against Arkansas and Tennessee.

Summary:

Florida’s offense has struggled to put up points for most of the year but their defense is elite.  For the season the Gators defense is allowing opponents only 13 points per game.  The Gators have won every game that they have held opposition under the 25.2 points per game averaged by their offense.  Florida State comes into the game averaging over 35 points per game but they have struggled against better competition.  Florida State pulled out a huge road win in this match-up a year ago.  If Florida can bottle up Seminoles star running back Dalvin Cook then they will win this game.
