No. 9 Gators put up a fight, but ultimately they were not deep enough to outlast the Dawgs

CBS Sports has a couple of good articles on Florida's loss.

13. Florida (9): Turnovers were to blame in the Gators' loss to Georgia, which is a weird twist of fate for a team that been among the best in the country at ending up on the plus-side of the turnover margin. In so many ways, including multiple red zone stands, Florida looked the part of an SEC East title contender. With its only losses coming to top-15 teams, don't expect Florida to fall beyond No. 20.

Losers
Texas (the state): Yes, the Longhorns' loss to Oklahoma State was rough, but at least they weren't the only Texas team to have a rough day. Texas A&M made Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald look like a great passer again in a 28-13 loss. TCU fumbled (again, via buttocks) the game away against Kansas. Texas Tech dropped a road game at Iowa State 40-31. The state's power teams had an awful time in Week 9, leaving room for the best team at the moment to be ... Houston?

Florida (also the state): Don't worry, things weren't much better in Florida with the Gators, Seminoles, Hurricanes and Bulls all losing by double digits. Even FAU's slide under coach Lane Kiffin continued on Friday with a 21-13 loss to Louisiana Tech. So Florida's best team in Week 10 was ... FIU? The Panthers beat lowly Western Kentucky 38-17.

Ouch! The state of Florida.

Mark Richt: And while we're talking about Miami, let's talk about Richt. The Miami coach is embattled following a 27-14 loss to Boston College on Friday night. Namely, Richt's critics are spotlighting the quarterback situation with Malik Rosier and N'Kosi Perry, along with the general offensive ineptitude (the Hurricanes averaged four yards per play). Rosier's ups and downs are well-documented and he had a particularly abysmal night with a couple of interceptions and about 4.2 yards per attempt. But this has been a mismanagement job weeks in the making that is now starting to cost Miami. And it's starting to tick off some of the program's biggest alums.

It’s official!! The U is Dead Under @MarkRicht !!!

With FSU & Miami losing again, this week would have been a whole lot better had Florida beaten Georgia! Oh well, at least the Gator program is trending upwards.

Better recruitment for Florida and continued player development under Dan Mullen will help the Gators get over the hump. There is still a chance for UF to finish the regular season with a 10-2 record. That's impressive after last year's 4-7 dismal record.
