Former Florida quarterback and current ESPN analyst Tim Tebow stood alone among his network colleagues in picking the Florida Gators to defeat the Georgia Bulldogs in their upcoming SEC matchup, according to ESPN's prediction panels released Saturday.
While the majority of ESPN's analysts favored the Bulldogs, Tebow's loyalty to his alma mater made him the sole panelist to back the Gators. The annual rivalry game, often referred to as the "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party," is scheduled for this weekend in Jacksonville.
Tebow, who won two national championships with Florida in 2006 and 2008, has frequently expressed his support for the program since joining ESPN as a college football analyst. His lone pick highlights the divide in expectations for a game that carries significant implications for the SEC East standings.
