Florida Gators Still in National Title Hunt

Continuing along with the theme of my last article, the national title hopes of the Florida Gators football team are still alive.  I can't say that about many other teams, either.  The new BCS poll came out today and Florida is now ranked #4, behind Notre Dame, Alabama, and Georgia in that order.  If Florida should manage to beat cross-state rival Florida State next Saturday, then they will automatically move up at least one spot since (1) they would have beaten another top ten-ranked team, giving them a stronger strength of schedule and (2) Alabama and Georgia will play for the conference title, insuring that one of them would lose and fall behind the Gators in the rankings.  That would leave only undefeated Notre Dame, who would have to lose to Southern Cal on the road next Saturday in order for the scenario to give Florida a national championship game opportunity come true.  And should it happen, in all improbability, that they made it that far, UF would be facing another Southeastern Conference school, either Alabama or Georgia in that national championship game.

But they have to beat FSU next week to have any chance at all...
