Dan Mullen has found himself in the hot seat in Gainesville after losing to Missouri in overtime, with Florida's hopes of a postseason bowl resting on rivalry weekend.
Both the Gators and Florida State enter next weekend's game with a 5–6 record, both needing a win to reach a bowl. Their stories to this moment couldn't be more opposite despite the records.
Florida has lost nine of its last 11 Power 5 games, sitting 2–6 in conference games this year—oh, and it gave up a whopping 52 points to Samford. Mullen's squad is currently second to last in the SEC east, ahead of just Vanderbilt.
