Gators as good a No. 1 preseason pick as any?
Florida has landed itself at No. 1 on at least two major preseason magazines, Phil Steele's College Football Preview and Athlon. While that may seem a little lofty, considering the Gators were 9-4 last season and finished No. 13 in the final rankings, at least one national analysts (SI.com's Stewart Mandel) believes it's as good a GUESS as any.

What is a Conferense? looks like you need to try to get in to UF because UCF isn't teaching you how to spell. Tough CONFERENCE you're in with powerhouses like Tulsa and SMU. Try being competing with USF first clown!
