Gators win SEC East ugly (again) ... just the way they like it

OK, so I guess it's time to stop doubting Jim McElwain and his rag-tag group of Florida Gators.

After a hard-fought 16-10 win over LSU in Death Valley, the new Jim on the block is taking Florida to the SEC championship game in Atlanta for the second straight season. Florida hasn't always been pretty, but it has won a bad SEC East two straight years. Regardless of what you think of this team -- equipped with a national championship-level defense and average offense -- the Gators are doing something six other teams in their division would love to do.
