ESPN announced on Sunday that Florida’s game against Missouri will be on ESPN2 at noon on Saturday in Gainesville.

Florida (7-1 overall, 6-1 in SEC play) dropped five spots in both the AP Top 25 and USA Today Coaches Poll.

This marks the fifth time this season that the Gators have appeared on one of the ESPN family of networks and the eighth time they have appeared on national TV this season.

The Gators have a 4-0 record when appearing on ESPN as they beat Bowling Green, Texas A&M, Tennessee and Vanderbilt on the “worldwide leader.”

With Florida being announced for ESPN Georgia and Ole Miss will appear on CBS at 3:30 p.m. and Alabama and LSU will play in the night cap at 8 p.m. as part of the CBS doubleheader.
