A year of all-conference play has come to a close. There’s no playoff or conference championship, but there is still a first for the seventh-ranked Florida Gators.
It’s their first-ever appearance in the Cotton Bowl Classic, and they face the sixth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Dec. 30 at 8 p.m.
This will be the second time ever as well that Florida will play Oklahoma. The first time these two played each other, they faced off in the 2009 BCS National Championship. Florida; led by quarterback Tim Tebow, Head Coach Urban Meyer and offensive coordinator Dan Mullen; beat Oklahoma 24-14 to win their third national title.
