Winner: Florida Gators (No. 24 up to No. 20)

What. A. Finish. Florida and Tennessee were off to one of the ugliest starts in recent memory when pure pandemonium took place. The Gators found themselves up by 10 in the fourth quarter, but allowed Tennessee to get back into the game, knotting it up late.

With just seconds left on the clock, Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks had time to get one final pass toward the end zone off. Seemingly exuding confidence after finally putting together the Gators’ first offensive touchdown drive of the young season earlier in the fourth, he rolled to his right, eluded pressure and heaved a bomb to the end zone.

About as perfectly-placed as a 63-yard pass could be, Franks found a sprinting Tyrie Cleveland in the end zone for the wildest finish of the year. The Gator Chomp was in full force following the crazy last-second win and the Volunteers were left with blank stares on their faces.

Jim McElwain likely won’t be able to avoid questions about his team’s anemic offense, but there’s an end in sight with Franks under center. He had a solid day, completing 18-of-28 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns. Is this the confidence-boost he needed?
