Texas vs. Florida Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats
Rusty Gorelick
One of the SEC's nine ranked teams faces a conference rival looking to make its way up the standings as the No. 5 Florida Gators (15-2, 2-2 SEC) host the Texas Longhorns (12-5, 1-3 SEC).
Even the Gators, who rank 12th in the nation in offensive rating and 15th in defensive rating, have struggled with the conference's depth. They've beaten then-No. 1 Tennessee and unranked Arkansas but have lost to then-No. 10 Kentucky and, most recently, unranked Missouri.
Texas picked up its first SEC win in four tries last time out at Oklahoma. They lost their first three conference games to stellar teams in then-No. 13 Texas A&M, then-No. 2 Auburn and then-No. 1 Tennessee.
