Today is Tuesday, which brings us yet another day closer to the opening of the Florida Gators’ 2020 SEC-only football schedule this Saturday against Ole Miss. In the meantime, there is plenty to keep us occupied in the news from around the league and around the nation.
The top story today is the adjusted bowl predictions college sports editor Erick Smith put together for USA TODAY Sports now that the Big Ten is officially back in the fold. The Ohio State Buckeyes are the biggest beneficiary of the re-rankings.
In other news, former Florida State Seminoles and NFL standout Deion Sanders aims to “look good while we win'” at Jackson State. Monday, Sanders was dressed in blue and sporting a Jackson State hat as he addressed a crowd spread out for social distancing, made smaller by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Here are the rest of the stories from around the Gator Nation.
