Peach Bowl 2018, Florida vs. Michigan: Where, when, and team info
The game in Atlanta now has its matchup.
Who’s playing in the 2018 Peach Bowl?
Florida (9-3, 5-3 in SEC)
It’s been a successful first year for Dan Mullen. The Gators are back close to where they’re supposed to be, though they won’t be satisfied until they surpass Georgia in the SEC East and find their way into the Playoff, an event they’ve still yet to play in. Their regular season included them beating Mississippi State in Mullen’s homecoming, beating LSU in The Swamp, and ending Florida State’s record-setting bowl streak on the final weekend. Feleipe Franks emerged as a legit QB of the future, and if the defense returns to recent form next year, things could turn out great in Gainesville.
Michigan (10-2, 8-1 in Big Ten)
The Wolverines were 10-0 when they weren’t playing elite teams. They were 0-2 when they were, starting the year with a loss at Notre Dame and ending it with a loss at Ohio State. That OSU loss will be the main thing this season’s remembered for, and until Jim Harbaugh can get over that Buckeye-sized hump, nothing else matters all that much. But for the moment, as long as Michigan’s not playing a huge game against the rival that owns it, the Wolverines should be really tough. Shea Patterson can sling it.
