We may be looking at five SEC teams in the postseason top 10, three from the East.
There will be a lot written on the Florida
#Gators
and this SEC Championship Game, but the team did itself and its fans proud coming out of last week. That was a valiant effort. Alabama is not overrated. Florida lived up to the task and was a play/decision or two away.
That's one of the best, most composed and thorough games that Florida
#Gators
football has played in quite some time. It's not all about big point totals or passing TDs. That was an impressive W, and you have to feel good about it if you're a UF fan.

Dan Mullen is furious after SEC officials call an incomplete on a Kyle Trask pass to Jacob Copeland. It's the EXACT situation that they gave Georgia a complete pass for last week. In fact, there's less movement on this one.

Napier: "This group of players is special. We had our best week of practice. We're growing up. ... They never gave up on each other. ...
"Can you believe we get paid to do this?! ...
"We're building something. Better days are ahead."

Mullen said, when he was hired, he told

WR Keiwan Ratliff via text: "I love it..I wasnt feeling the Chip Kelly hire, didn't think he fit our style off the field, but Mullen helped create the formula we've been chasing since he left. Keep a couple pieces from the last staff and this HR just became a grand slam."

That was one of the most inexcusable losses that I can remember for Florida
#Gators
football. Lost on offense, defense, special teams. Absolutely bone-headed penalty cost a potential game-winning drive. Will have PLENTY to say about it tonight.
Text from former

defensive player under Urban Meyer who wishes to remain anonymous: "I never thought this would f---ing happen. Gators are back. We'll all be back."
You know, when Billy Napier talked about building an “army”, I just chalked that up to coachspeak and a good line at a press conference, but … I think he’s serious.

This defense has completely given up on Todd Grantham.
It's clear Dan Mullen planned to just let his contract expire.
The
