One week to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the next to the Rockies. The focus of college football is in Tennessee. The Tennessee Volunteers play the Florida Gators.
The Gators have a five-game win streak in the series and are 10-point favorites. The Volunteers have not been favored by more than five points in 38 years. The state of Florida is 7-1 in the series as a favorite.
One of Steve Spurrier's classic zingers came from the rivalry's rich history of featuring top players. After beating Tennessee four times in a row from 1993 to 1996, Spurrier said, "You can't spell orange without UT."
The Volunteers enter the game with a perfect record, but their only real test was a 34-27 win over the then-No. 1 team in the country. The Pittsburgh panthers are a football team. The home wins over the top ranked team have propelled the Gators to a 1-2 record. Utah and South Florida lost to Kentucky.
