Saturday would have seemed like a good day for a cocktail party if you were a college football fan, and not just because it included the actual World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, the annual Florida-Georgia game, which the No. 11 Gators (7-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) dominated, 27-3.
Five of the top seven teams in the Associated Press poll entering the weekend were off. No. 5 Texas Christian played on Thursday, handily holding off visiting West Virginia, 40-10. ESPN’s “College GameDay” broadcast was from Philadelphia, which was last known as a college football town during the George Munger era at Penn.
