Florida vs Oregon State in Las Vegas Bowl

It’s Selection Sunday! The Florida Gators will face the Oregon State Beavers in the 2022 SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl on December 17th at 7:30p.m.

Florida drew interest from several bowl committees, but ultimately landed a bid in Vegas. The Gators get a chance to play in the brand-new Allegiant Stadium, which cost nearly 2 billion dollars to build.

This matchup will be the 31st in Las Vegas Bowl history and the Gators first against the Beavers.

Oregon State will come into this game with a 9-3 record and 14th in the CFB playoff committee rankings. The Beavers are coming off a 38-34 win over #15 Oregon in week 13.

The only common opponent between the two teams is Utah. Florida won 29-26 and Oregon State lost 42-16.

The one downside of this matchup is the date. Florida is not going to be able to practice as much with the game being so close to today’s date. The bright side? Oregon State is in the same boat.

However, I’d like Florida to get as many practices in as possible with many players getting their first opportunity for significant playing time.

There are many unanswered questions for the Gators with just 13 games until the Bowl game. Florida waits on a decision from QB Anthony Richardson and other significant players.

We aren’t sure what the depth chart will look like for Florida, but Gator Country will continue monitoring Florida football leading up to the Las Vegas Bowl.
