With ten minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Florida Gators are leading the game with a whopping 41 to 3.

Today, both teams come in having won three straight since their only losses of the season. Now, Formerly known as "The World's Largest Cocktail Party" the latest Florida/Georgia showdown will not only give one team the victory but they will also get the inside track on capturing the SEC East Division and keeping a national title hope alive.

The 6-point favored Gators, however, appear to have some extra motivation working for them. Florida felt disrespected by its archival in last season’s matchup, and the Gators will be looking to avenge that bitter loss to Georgia in Jacksonville.

The Bulldogs defeated Florida 42-30 last year for just their third win in the last 18 meetings. Matthew Stafford was 11-of-18 for 217 yards, a career-high three TDs and one interception in the win for Georgia.

Florida scored with 20 seconds remaining in the first quarter to go up, 7-0, when Percy Harvin went in untouched from 13 yards out on an option pitch from Tim Tebow.

The one thing that was apparent early on in the game has been the intensity of the atmosphere. Florida’s Brandon Spikes hit Knowshon Moreno hard on the first possession.
