The Ohio Bobcats sit in 1st place in the MAC and travel to Tampa to face the formidable Florida Gators. The Bobcats are familiar with formidable opponents, as they pushed the Michigan Wolverines to the limit earlier this season.
The Florida Gators sit in 1st place in the SEC, but their schedule has yet to toughen, so we are not quite sure what type of team the Gators are this season. Who will be victorious, the road Bobcats, or will the Gators make quick work of Ohio down in The Swamp?
