TALLAHASSEE — Florida still has one game left in 2010, but rebuilding for 2011 starts now. That was the message coach Urban Meyer emphatically delivered during his press conference after Florida State’s 31-7 drubbing of UF in Doak Campbell Stadium. The Gators (7-5, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) lost to the Seminoles (9-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) and lost five games in a season for the first time in Meyer’s tenure. This is also the first five-loss regular season since 1988. Meyer said his coaching staff would hit the road Sunday and immediately turn their focus to bringing in as many tough-ass players as possible.

The distance between bad and worse for the Gators’ season comes down to Saturday in Tallahassee.
Coach Amanda Butler stuck to her word, and the Gators came out running against North Florida on Tuesday in the O’Connell Center. But the start wasn’t what they envisioned.
November weather usually doesn’t bode well for outdoor swimming. But with Tallahassee temperatures in the low 70s, the Seminoles hosted the Gators roof-less.
