By: Eric Fawcett -- February 6, 2025 The SEC has proven itself to be the best league in America this season and the Florida Gators (19-3, 6-3 SEC) will see the cream of the crop on Saturday when they take on the number one team in the country by any metric–the Auburn Tigers (21-1, 9-0 SEC).

I was really concerned about AM. He immediately stayed down after that scrum. Then got up, but had his hand on his hip.

We have to fire in all cylinders and we have to "win" the backcourt. A hobbled Martin doesn't help our chances.
We're a decided underdog even full-handed in this one. Even full-handed, every guy needs to have a good game. If one key player can't play, we have no chance.
