College football season is kicking off with a bang, and there are some intriguing matchups on Thursday night. One of the biggest games of the night is Florida taking on Utah in a rematch from last year's opener, where the Gators pulled off a massive upset. However, despite that win, Florida is not expected to make a bowl game this season.

The Gators are facing a tough schedule, with challenges from teams like South Carolina, Missouri, and Kentucky. These teams have a wide range of expectations and are all capable of giving Florida a run for their money. Additionally, Florida will also face tough opponents like Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, and LSU. With such a challenging schedule, it will be an uphill battle for the Gators to secure a bowl game berth.

On the other hand, Nebraska, always a fan favorite, is also predicted to have a tough season. Despite the support from their dedicated fan base, the Cornhuskers haven't made a bowl game since 2016, and this year doesn't look promising either. Their first game of the season is against Minnesota, and while it's game No. 1 of the Matt Rhule era for Nebraska, it's unlikely that they will see immediate success.

So, will Florida and Nebraska make a bowl game this season? The odds are stacked against them, but time will tell if these teams can overcome their challenging schedules and prove the doubters wrong.
