Florida vs. Florida State: Info, Odds, Where to Watch and More

Everything you need to know ahead of the 2023 Sunshine Showdown, Florida vs. No. 5 Florida State.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida enters its regular-season finale, at home, in hopes of snapping a four-game losing streak and obtaining bowl eligibility to conclude Billy Napier's second year as the program's head coach.

Florida State, the No. 5 team in the country, steps into the same game with greater aspirations in mind, aiming to regain its No. 4 spot, then to defeat No. 10 Louisville in the Dec. 2 ACC Championship, in order to clinch a spot in the 2023-24 College Football Playoff. 

Both the Gators and the Seminoles will rely upon their backup quarterbacks, Max Brown for UF and Tate Rodemaker for FSU, to accomplish their respective goals in Week 13 and potentially beyond, following season-ending injuries to Graham Mertz of Florida and Jordan Travis of Florida State last Saturday.

Rivalry weekend never, ever, lacks intrigue.
