The Flordia Gators are back. After a season in which they didn't make a BCS bowl game, Florida is starting to play like they did a few years ago when they won a little thing known as the National Title. Urban Meyer's Gators are back in the National Title hunt. After an early home loss to the Mississippi Rebels everybody started to right them off, but since then the Gators have won six straight games. On their current win streak they have beaten each team they have faced by at least 28 point or more. This win streak includes wins over three top 25 teams in Georgia, LSU, and South Carolina. The Gators have averaged an unbelievable 49.8 points per game during their current six game win streak.That is just unheard of in the SEC, a conference that is supposed to be known for it's defense. This past weekend in their game against South Carolina, the Gators tallied up 56 points against one the best defenses in the country. By the way, Florida also handed Steve Spurrier, the former Florida Gators head coach, his worst lost in his long and lustryous head coaching career. Florida is playing great, but why is everyone stating that the Gators will be playing in the National Championship game?
The Gators are by far the hottest team in the country, but they still have two meaningful games left (technically three if you want to call the Citadel a game). The Tim Tebow led Gators still have to play in-state rival Florida State and the number one ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship. Florida still isn't ranked in the top two and they aren't even the best team in their conference. For all the praise that Florida is getting, let's let them play out their games first. If Nick Saban has anything to say about it, his Alabama Crimson Tide will be playing for the National Title, not the Florida Gators.
