Urban Meyer's Gators are no stranger to this game, as they won the inaugural BCS Title Game two years ago, with a thorough whipping of the Ohio State Buckeyes (41-14). The majority of the competition in 2008 can certainly attest to how the Buckeyes felt in that game, as outside of a humbling setback at home to Ole Miss in late September (31-30), the Gators have rolled over their foes, including lopsided wins against Tennessee (30-6), Georgia (49-10) and Florida State (45-15) outside of Gainesville and an equally impressive performance against LSU (51-21) at home. The result was yet another SEC East crown, setting up a showdown with the Alabama Crimson Tide for the SEC Title in early December. When the smoke cleared, Florida earned a 31-20 victory and a spot in the national title game.

This game represents Florida's 18th straight bowl game and 36th bowl appearance overall (16-19). It is also the fifth BCS Bowl game for the Gators, who have gone 3-1 in the four prior outings, including winning the national championship two years ago. ... Continue
