Nice article on forty names, games and teams

ESPN - Forde: Dashing through the Dome and beyond - Columnist

3. Florida Gators (8)
Why the Gators are No. 3: The offense is even more powerful and diverse than the version that won the national title last season. And the defense and special teams each chipped in touchdowns in the annihilation of Tennessee.

What they're doing best: Florida is running the spread offense to near perfection, hitting defenses from all angles. In classic UrbanBall fashion, 60 percent of the Gators' rushing attempts are by non-running backs.

Stat: How's this for efficiency? The Gators are scoring a point for every 9.4 yards of offense. Steve Spurrier's 1996 national champs, which hold the school record for scoring, averaged a point for every 11 yards.

Chinks in the armor: The secondary is young and susceptible to giving up a lot of yards and completions. And the defensive front hasn't generated enough consistent pressure.

First true test: At LSU Oct. 6. Gators lost last time they were there, in 2005.

Andre' Woodson (28), Kentucky. Winning the bluegrass battle against Brohm -- and firing a 57-yard TD bomb with 28 seconds left -- stamped him a contender. He's just 15 throws away from breaking the I-A record for consecutive passes without an interception (271, set by Trent Dilfer at Fresno State). If the Wildcats can perpetrate road upsets of Arkansas and South Carolina, Woodson will enter the LSU-Florida double (Oct. 13 and 20, respectively) as one of the hottest names in the country.
Point After

When hungry in Lexington after the once-every-three-decades victory over a top 10 team, The Dash recommends a visit to one of the SEC's great greasy spoon joints, the Tolly-Ho (40). Get yourself a Ho burger, some cheddar tots and an Oreo milkshake -- after you've had a few beers. It's a short stagger from several quality bars to the Ho.
