HeismanPundit.com has Florida at #1 and #15 at #2. What about Troy? Ten Top Ten Lists Bonzai!

The main difference between college ball and the NFL is that in college, every game matters. Somewhat lost in the news [of Urban Meyer’s $4M annual salary contract negotiations] was his commitment to give $1M over the course of the deal to the Florida Opportunity Scholars program.
