How about the Florida Gators?! While the Alabama Crimson Tide were favored to post a win on Wednesday night in a matchup of two Top 10 teams, the Gators didn't care about that, as they've left Tuscaloosa with a monster win under their belt.

Back in the No. 1 seed conversation? You better believe it. Florida is riding high right now, especially after taking down such a hated rival. Well, things for Alabama were made even worse, as the Crimson Tide were all set to celebrate senior night in style after the final whistle. Instead, the majority of the stadium cleared out. Yup, Florida ruined things in multiple ways for Nate Oats and Co.

A quick look on social media shows that Alabama fans are indeed losing it, as they're not happy with the performance during the loss and they also can't understand why Oats waited until after the final whistle to honor his seniors. It's a decision he's surely regretting.

That's not anything for the Gators to worry about, though. No. 5 Florida is playing with a ton of confidence and the team got some major help from the Ole Miss Rebels on Wednesday too, as Chris Beard's team was able to take down No. 4 Tennessee.

For a while now, there's been plenty of debate on which team should capture a No. 1 seed between the Vols and Gators. Tennessee was well on its way to earning it's first top seed in program history after taking down Bama last weekend, but the loss to Ole Miss will haunt them.

Again, nothing for Florida to worry about, as this program now controls its own destiny. On Saturday, the Gators will host the Rebels for the regular season finale. With a win, we should be seeing Florida earn a No. 1 seed once Selection Sunday rolls around. It's been a year to remember for Todd Golden, Alex Condon, Walter Clayton and others. The good news here is these guys are just getting started.
