The preseason AP College Football Poll has been released, and the Florida Gators are number one in the nation, by the widest margin in the poll’s history.

Florida received 58 of the 60 first-place votes, or 96.7 percent. Texas got the other first-place votes.

The previous highest percentage of first-place votes for the AP preseason poll, which started in 1950, was 95.4 percent for USC in 2007.

Yes, but everyone knows that’s because those Trojans didn’t have God on their side. Tebow and co. get their season started in less that two weeks against Charleston Southern, a college from the Football Championship Subdivision. After that it’s another tuneup game before Lane Kiffin’s Volunteers come to The Swamp for their annual mid-September loss.
