1. Florida loses on last-minute touchdown

Everyone just assumes that Alabama is going to wipe the floor with Florida and there’s a chance that could happen because, well, the Tide have been dominant each and every week this year, but the Gators are built for shootouts and Dan Mullen has one of the best offensive teams in the country.

Alabama has two true Heisman candidates in Mac Jones and he throws the ball to another in DeVonta Smith. That connection has been nearly unstoppable this season and that’s going to continue, but he won’t quite out-duel Kyle Trask.

With Trask slightly out-dueling Jones, this game will be close and the Gators will have a shot to win late in the fourth quarter.

The game will be tied in the final minutes before the Crimson Tide score a touchdown with under a minute left on a Najee Harris run from five yards out and Florida will have trouble answering against this Alabama defense.

Florida keeps it close and shocks everyone with a real upset shot. Maybe next year, Gator fans.
