Florida has fallen, but it can get back up

Only a basketball powerhouse and an academic giant kept the Florida Gators from being picked to finish last in the SEC East division at football media days last week.

Vanderbilt was voted last and Kentucky next-to-last, and while those teams always seem to play decent football when on Arkansas' schedule (same as Florida), the biggest question is how the once mighty Gators, winners of three national championships, not only have been dethroned but practically kicked to the curb.

Some of the responsibility has to fall on the shoulders of Athletic Director Jeremy Foley for hiring Ron Zook and Will Muschamp, but then he's also the guy who hired Urban Meyer and Billy Donovan, winners of two national championships each in football and basketball.
