Is Florida a Legit Threat to Reach SEC Title Game and Steal a Playoff Berth?

The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party between Florida and Georgia in Jacksonville served as a celebration for the Gators and a reminder to the college football world that they are relevant.

Behind a stifling defense that limited first-year head coach Kirby Smart's crew to just 164 yards, eight first downs and 3.04 yards per play, the defending SEC East champs got just enough from quarterback Luke Del Rio in his second start since suffering an MCL injury in September to top the Bulldogs 24-10.
