It's Unanimous -- Florida Gators Are Number 1!

A friend just e-mailed this to me:

The Florida Gators are No. 1 for the fourth straight week. This time, there's no doubt about it.

Florida became the first unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press college basketball poll in nearly two years, garnering all 72 first place votes Monday.

The Gators had 45 first place votes last week, but the defending national champions benefited from losses by then-No. 2 Wisconsin and No. 3 North Carolina. The last unanimous No. 1 was Illinois in the final poll of 2004-05. The Illini were unanimous in six of the final seven polls that season.

"We're very honored to be voted a unanimous No. 1 in the nation. I realize it doesn't happen very often," said Florida coach Billy Donovan. "At the same time, we're aware that a lot of that has to do with what other teams have done around us. There's still a long way to go and we're just trying to get better each day, but it's certainly always flattering to be No. 1 in the nation."

Unfortunately, Virginia Tech just fell out of the rankings and George Mason isn't among them either...

GO GATORS!!!
