The Southeastern Conference showcases another big noon kickoff today, as the Florida Gators visit the Texas Longhorns for a Week 7 clash.
These teams are just one place apart in the SEC standings (Texas are 4-1 overall and Florida are 4-2), though the Longhorns are faring much better in the rankings — they're at No. 7 while the Gators are currently unranked. Both are coming off losses, following Texas's defeat at the hands of also-unranked Oklahoma and Florida's two-game losing streak against Missouri and South Carolina. This could be a crucial showdown for both teams.
