Chomping at Bits: Florida takes No. 10 spot in initial College Football Playoff rankings

Chomping at Bits comes stocked with the best Florida Gators links and news we can find, and maybe some other stuff. Here’s hoping it will be daily through the rest of football season.

Can one Madden play save the 2008 Detroit Lions? Possibly! Also fun: Taking Madden advice for an Xbox 360-era game from a Madden champion who was literally in elementary school when that game was released and having that advice be both the sagest in the video and, in essence, “run four verts.”
