The Florida Gators have been one of the great beneficiaries of the SEC-Big 12 Challenge thus far in its six years of existence.
Maybe the great beneficiary, even.
Florida is 4-1 in its previous five games in the event, its lone loss a valiant one at Kansas that was about a young team faltering down the stretch because it knew how to do nothing else. The Gators have knocked off Kansas, too, and beaten good West Virginia and Oklahoma and Baylor teams. Baylor’s only SEC-Big 12 Challenge loss is to the Gators; the same is true of Kansas.
