Turmoil envelopes this game from all angles. Turmoil and tears. And Tebow. Cincinnati is without their head coach who led them there, and Florida's coach, while there, needs to tone it back for health reasons - which one relies on them more? The Bearcats should be able to put some points up against an exposed Gator D, but probably not nearly as many as they're used to. The Gator D is going to need to regroup and carry the load, though the offense should have an easier time of it than against some of their SEC foes. The magical season for Cincy comes to an end...

The Line: Cincinnati +13

The Call: Florida wins, but Cincinnati covers the spread

The Result: Florida 51-24

That's how Tebow wanted to go out, for sure. What's next for each of these teams? Well, to be frank I think it's inevitable for them to drop off a bit with the changes that the offseason will bring. Probably not too much in Florida's case, but maybe a lot for Cincy. It'll definitely keep the next eight months interesting.
