Most overwhelming preseason #1 in AP poll history: http://www.gatorsports.com/article/20090822/NEWS/908229975/1136?Title=Gators-also-No-1-in-AP-poll Should make it that much tougher.....
No doubt the Gators deserve to be the overwhelming #1, I'm actually suprised that they didn't get 100% of the votes.
You're opening as a 60+favorite in your opener. You guys are suppose the be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
We all know what happened to USC in 2005....the last overwhelming preseason #1. I think on merit and returning experience this Gator team can live up to the expectations but at the end Texas or OU should be a formidable opponent as was Texas in 2005 for USC.
Well they went unbeaten in the regular season and lost in a shootout in the NC game. It should also be added that it took perhaps the single greatest individual performance I've ever seen a player give in a college football game to beat them. If that's what you're looking at, there are far worse fates.
