Gators Make Schedule Change Following 24-Team Playoff Approval
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — As college football moves to a 24-team playoff beginning in 2027, the Florida Gators are making changes to its future schedule. On Tuesday, Florida cancelled a home-and-home series against Notre Dame, which was slated to be played in South Bend in 2031 and Gainesville in 2032, according to the Associated Press.
Originally signed in 2021, the deal included a clause that allowed Florida to back out of the deal if the SEC moved from an eight-game league schedule to nine games. The league moved to a nine-game slate this season, with the expanded playoff to begin next year.
