Florida Gators prepare to defend the Perpetual National Championship against Charleston Southern September 5th in Ben Hill Griffith Stadium. This will be Florida’s 27th chance at the title, which they’ve won 11 times.
Charleston Southern University will play for the “Grandaddy of All National Championships,” the Perpetual National Championship, September 5th when the Buccaneers face off against current title holder, the University of Florida. The Gators took the title from Oklahoma in the 2009 BCS game. This will be the 1,359th title game for the Perpetual National Championship. The Gators have played in 27 of those title games and have won or defended the title eleven times. The last time Florida held the title was in 2007, when after winning and defending the title five consecutive times, the Gators lost to Auburn 20-17 on a last minute field goal by Auburn’s Wes Byrum.
