3* Florida
After taking their lumps early in the season with a young team, Florida racked up 5 straight wins before falling to a Chris Rix miracle in late November. With a sold-out Outback Bowl only 2 hours from UF, expect quite a bit of orange and blue when you tune into this one. Iowa really struggled on the road this year, averaging 13.4 ppg less than they did at home. The strength of Iowa's team is their defense and their running game, because, quite simply, the passing game is poor (160 ypg, 53% completions). Look for Florida to stack the line of scrimmage and allow their talented secondary to play man coverage, and Iowa simply won't be able to muster much offense as their road woes continue.
