Week 13: The Citadel at Florida
The Florida Gators are on a roll and could make a case they are playing the best football of any team in the country. This is the final game for the Bulldogs and just making it out of Gainesville without any injuries and a large paycheck in hand is probably their best course of action.
Week 12 National Notebook
Vanderbilt became eligible for its first bowl since 1982 and Baylor knocked off Texas A&M for the second time in five years. Mitch Light looks at these teams and more in his Week 12 National Notebook.
SEC: Gators blowing out opponents
With their 56-6 win over South Carolina, Florida has made another statement to the rest of college football. Although the Gators have a loss and sit below Alabama and Texas Tech in the BCS, the argument can be made that they are playing the best football in the country.
Game Day, Part II
This afternoon, Steve Spurrier suffered the worst loss of his career during his 75th game as a head coach in The Swamp, while Oregon State kept its Rose Bowl hopes alive.
Week 12: South Carolina at Florida
The Gators have their sights set on a second national championship in three seasons but South Carolina won’t be a pushover. The last time the Gamecocks visited Gainesville, the Gators needed a late field goal block to escape with the victory.
Goal Line Stand: Hiring right coach is tricky
These days, the cycle of looking for a new coach doesn’t begin in late November but in October. That extra time is valuable for athletic directors like Washington's Scott Woodward, who know full well that their own jobs often hinge on who they hire.
SEC: Tide need OT for victory in Saban bowl
Nick Saban’s return to Baton Rouge was successful, as Alabama clinched the SEC West and kept its national title hopes alive with a 27-21 win against LSU in overtime.
Week 11: Florida at Vanderbilt
Although the national spotlight will be on Florida, there is plenty on the line for Vanderbilt. The Commodores are one win away from bowl eligibility and are reeling from three consecutive losses.
Goal Line Stand: Another BC-Mess
There is still plenty of football left to be played, but with so many deserving teams hanging around the national championship picture, Michael Bradley claims the BCS is once again is in the process of fouling up the season.
Week 10 National Notebook
Texas Tech pulled out a thrilling victory over hated rival Texas this week while Florida and Syracuse won big games as well. Mitch Light looks at these teams and more in the Week 10 version of his national notebook.
SEC: Florida impresses in blowout of Georgia
Not only did Florida achieve revenge for its loss to Georgia last season, it officially put the rest of college football on notice with their 49-10 destruction of a top-10 team.
Game Day, Part II
This afternoon, Tim Tebow and Florida dominated Georgia at the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” in Jacksonville, while Pittsburgh outlasted Notre Dame in quadruple overtime, Georgia Tech wrecked an FSU comeback and Washington State was blanked by Stanford.
Week 10: Georgia vs. Florida
Florida and Georgia meet for the 76th time in Jacksonville this Saturday in what is one of the most important meetings in recent memory. This will be the first time both teams are ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll since 1999 and only the second time since 1984.
Goal Line Stand: Texas Tech is a different team
The Raiders have won at least eight games six years straight (seven if you count ’08) and have hit the nine-win mark three times. Yep, they’ve been getting it done down on the South Plains. But not like this. Tech is 8-0 and dreaming of big things.
SEC: Florida, Georgia take care of business
The stakes in the World’s Largest Outdoor Party have been raised another notch. Florida and Georgia each handled their opposition in Week 9 which sets up a huge match-up this Saturday.
Game Day, Part I
So far today, Florida wasted Kentucky on Homecoming at The Swamp before next week’s Cocktail Party against Georgia, while Texas Tech remains undefeated following a blowout at Kansas.
Under The Radar: Week 9
The Big 12, Big Ten and SEC all have marquee match-ups this weekend. But the battle for Pac-10 supremacy will also take place in Tuscan, Arizona. Mike Stoops and Co. are set to take on the USC Trojans late Saturday night.
Week 9: Kentucky at Florida
With next week’s game against Georgia looming large in the SEC East race, Florida has to avoid a letdown against Kentucky.
