The 2010 Big 12 champion Oklahoma Sooners held on to their preseason No. 1 spot in both the USA Today and Associated Press Top 25 polls Sunday. The Florida Gators, after defeating the UAB Blazers 39-0 at home on Saturday, rose slightly in both mostly due to teams ahead of them losing their games.

This week against Tennessee will let everyone know if the Gators are for real this season. A well coached SEC team with fast strong athletes and a stud quarterback in Tyler Bray, will be a challenge. I still don’t know enough about our team this year to make a prediction but I think we should win. GO GATORS
