Team to Watch: Florida Gators Men

Can the Oregon Ducks men clinch a four-peat at the national championships? They'll have a lot of work to do to achieve that.

Currently holding onto third place with 113.78 points behind the likes of Arkansas (121.23) and Florida (167.95), the odds are stacked against them. Florida has a commanding lead heading into the championships and barring a collapse, the Gators should win their first national title since 2012, where they clinched a three-peat of their own. 

The SEC is ruling over the rankings, with the exception of Oregon, as five SEC schools rank within the top six. But Florida stands head and shoulders above the rest, with some incredible young talent on its roster.

The Gators have three athletes who won the SEC's top awards this season, as KeAndre Bates took home the conference's Field Athlete of the Year award and Grant Holloway and Clayton Brown won the SEC's Freshman Runner of the Year and Freshman Field Athlete of the Year, respectively.

While track and field can be largely seen as an individual sport, there is no doubt that Bates, Holloway and Brown would rather have a national championship under their belt and to lead the Gators past the last two winners of nationals.

Can they pull it off? It's Florida's competition to lose.
