Florida Gators
13 - 1 (7 - 1) *NATIONAL CHAMPIONS*
Returning Starters- OFF: 8 DEF: 11

The Florida Gators will repeat as National Champions this season. Tim Tebow is one hellava leader. On offense, there wont be much drop off in production eben with Percy Havin going to the NFL. Tebow is still, well......Tebow. Dont be suprised if he joins the short list of 2 time Heisman Trophy winners. Florida also returns 3 of the most talented running backs in the country. Jeffery Demps, Chris Rainey, and Emmanual Moody. All three could start for any program in the country. 3 senior wide recievers return. Carl Moore, David Nelson, and Riely Cooper will not make anyone forget about Havin, but they are talented enough to make defenses repect the passing game. OTs Phil Trautwein and Jason Watkins will be missed but the interior of the offensive line will be strong. There is not much to say about a top 10 defense that returns every starter. Brandon Spikes is one of, if not the best linebacker in the country. The line has 2 all-sec players in Carlos Dunlap and Jermaine Cunningham. Joe Haden and Ahmad Black lead the best secondary in the country. This could possibly be the best team in Florida History. There are no real weaknesses on this team. It will be a bust this season if they dont make it back to the title game.
