The Florida Football Insiders Podcast prepares for bowl season, featuring the Florida Gators in the Orange Bowl against the Virginia Cavaliers. The Gator Critic -- @GatorCritic on Twitter -- writes about Gator sports analytics at ChompTheNumbers.com. He broke down film and offered his X-and-O observations on the Orange Bowl. How should Florida try to defend Virginia quarterback Bryce Perkins? How will Dan Mullen likely try to attack Bronco Mendenhall's defense? Get the answers to those questions and a lot more from The Gator Critic in the first half of our show.

In part two, @Real_FFI staff writer Jamil King -- @JamilKing96 on Twitter -- offers his thoughts on the two College Football Playoff semifinals (LSU-Oklahoma and Ohio State-Clemson). Jamil then looks at each of the other bowl games with Florida schools: the Boca Raton Bowl (FAU-SMU), the Camellia Bowl (FIU-Arkansas State), the Gasparilla Bowl (UCF-Marshall), the Independence Bowl (Miami-Louisiana Tech), and the Sun Bowl (Florida State-Arizona State).

Jamil rounds out his segment with his fantasy football recommendations, his Florida football power rankings, and some closing observations on Jameis Winston and the future of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's all this week on the bowl edition of the Florida Football Insiders Podcast, our last show of 2019. We'll be back in early January to wrap up the bowl season and the NFL regular season.
