He also has 40 touchdowns and only five interceptions with a QBR of 90.3. Those are caliber quarterback numbers and that is why he is at the No. 5 spot. Ian Book

After nearly a seven weeks long postponement, LSU football is finally headed to the sunshine state to play the Florida Gators. It will be held at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at 7 p.m. on Saturday. This game almost did not even happen due to COVID-19, therefore, it is exciting to see these two teams play. Last year, LSU defeated the Gators 42-28 so it has a chance at beating them again but both teams are different this year.

Florida football enters final month with CFP, Heisman hopes
It's been a crazy ride this college football season, and the chaos is bound to continue with the home stretch nearing. Florida football enters the final month of its season as the poster child of chaotic success.

Who’s the second best team in the SEC?
It has been an interesting week and a half for SEC football. There were four games postponed last week, including the Auburn football team's matchup with Mississippi State. Another game has been postponed for this week. It is inevitable schedules will change down the stretch, especially if COVID-19 cases continue to rise. Nevertheless, here are some observations on Auburn, the SEC and everywhere else heading into what should be an entertaining week of college football.

It is the Gators' defense that is alarming. It surrendered 35 points to Arkansas. Former
Florida football: Gators back in driver’s seat in SEC East
Two weeks ago, the Gators season was all but over. Florida football endured a tumultuous stretch to say the least after an upset loss to Texas A&M was compounded by an outbreak, which cost the team two weeks' worth of practices and games. The Gators played all of three contests, and the train was already derailing. The offense looked promising, but costly mistakes led to the team bleeding opportunities. The defense couldn't make a stop, let alone cause a big play or a turnover. Special teams were inconsistent. The pieces were in play, but coach Dan Mullen's opening book moves left far too much room on the board. A two-week break seemed a disaster for a team that couldn't get on
Florida football vs. Georgia preview
Florida and Georgia are about to play one of their biggest games of the season on Saturday. The No. 5 Bulldogs are facing No. 8 Florida football at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville in a huge SEC battle that will start making conversations for the SEC Championship. The first thing to first look into is that Georgia isn’t coming into this game with a ton of momentum. It suffered its first loss of the season at Alabama on Oct. 17. Then after its bye, it just edged Kentucky 14-3 on the road last week. This is a huge game for Georgia. It only lost to Alabama, and it should have beaten the Crimson Tide. Last week against Kentucky, it played horribly
