UF won solidly against FSU. And narrowly missed their 25% championship opportunity because Notre Dame, Bama, and Georgia also won. Gators outclassed the Noles on both sides of the ball, and came away with one of the easiest wins of the season. 244 rushing yards against the ''#1 defense'', and over 36 min of possession time. FSU did go up at one point during the 3rd, after some terrible calls and lucky breaks, but couldn't hold on to it.

Notre Dame dominated USC as well, 22-11. Freshman QB Wittek was unable to guarantee the win for USC, despite bringing enough confidence for both teams. Notre Dame held onto their undefeated season, and they will head to the championship against a 1-loss powerhouse SEC team.

GA beat GA Tech solidly, and Bama killed Auburn. Neither was much of a contest. This ended the Gators two long shot chances for coming out on top of the SEC. Had either team lost, then won the SEC championship, Gators would have likely been in the national championship. Now UF will have the strongest 1-loss record in the country, and should move to #3 and go to the Sugar Bowl. Gators will likely play Oklahoma or the Big East champion. Not a bad end to low expectation rebuilding year. Bama is favored to win the SEC and go to the championship, which would put GA below UF and lock GA out of a BCS bowl game.

QB Driskel scrambled and rushed just fine on his sprained ankle. QB Burton came in for long rushing yards as well. The o-line was in top form, finally, setting up, Gillislee to have a monster game against the ACC's best rush defense in college football. Linebacker Jelani Jenkins broke a bone in his right foot, and he will be out for the bowl game. Antonio Morrison, will take his place in the bowl. Morrison started the 24-point Gator rally in the 4th forcing a QB fumble.
