And then there were two.
Florida and Alabama have a colorful history when it comes to battling on the football field. Many of them have involved high stakes – and high reward.
While Alabama has been a national powerhouse practically every year under Nick Saban, the Gators have struggled of late. But winning the SEC East in the first year under coach Jim McElwain was a pleasant surprise. The Gators are big underdogs against Alabama in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta, but they are still glad to be there.
Just how well do these teams know each other?
