Before quarterback Tim Tebow even arrived at Florida, there was a documentary about his life called "The Chosen One." After four years, two Southeastern Conference championships, two national titles, a Heisman Trophy and a chance to lead the program to its first perfect season, the top-ranked Gators may be ready to dub him "The Greatest One." Farfetched?

Something about Florida State has brought out the best in Florida in recent seasons.

Florida will take a five-game winning streak in the series into Saturday's matchup with the Seminoles.

"It's the world," Florida coach Urban Meyer said of the FSU rivalry. "It's what makes this job the best in college football. It's what makes this stadium the best in college football. It will be senior day at Florida. This is going to be a special week."

Senior QB Tim Tebow will be making his final start at Florida Field, adding to the emotional setting.

"It's a lot of hatred," junior safety Ahmad Black said. "It started even before us. It goes way back to the earlier days. We've won five straight.

There could be a blackout at Florida Field on Saturday. An eye blackout that is. Florida fans are urging everyone to wear eye black Saturday -- with or without inscribed bible verses -- in honor of quarterback Tim Tebow's final home game. It's a fitting tribute to a player who wants to be remembered more for what he accomplishes off the field than on it.

When Florida freshman Xavier Nixon found out he was going to make his first career start, he kept it quiet. He didn't tell friends or classmates. He didn't even tell his parents, two Army sergeants who were traveling to South Carolina for the game. He wanted to surprise everyone. Boy, did he ever.

Make no mistake about it, No. 1 Florida's run to the top is nothing like last year's. Florida ran over teams a season ago to win its second national title in three years. This time, the Gators (10-0) are doing it as much on mental toughness as on talent. They finished off their first perfect, 8-0 Southeastern Conference regular season in 13 years with a 24-14 victory at South Carolina on...
