The NFL’s “Super Wild Card Weekend” was a dud in just about every way. Four of the six games were complete blowouts. Not a single game was tied or had a lead change in the second half. And eight former Gators had their seasons end.
By contract, the Divisional round might have been the greatest football weekend ever. It was certainly the biggest moment for a former Florida kicker: Everyone will remember the Evan McPherson Game.
On Conference Championship Sunday, eight former Gators have a chance to make a mark like McPherson did last weekend. And at least two of them will make it to the Super Bowl: No matter which squads advance, both Super Bowl teams will have an orange and blue representative and some Gator is assured of winning a Super Bowl ring.
