Games to Watch
Top Pick Florida at Kentucky, Saturday at 2 p.m., CBS3: The Wildcats go for the undefeated regular season, which appears to be just a formality against a Florida team that began the season with a No. 7 ranking but enters this game at .500 (15-15). While the Gators would love to salvage a sorry season with the year's most significant upset, it appears nothing will get in the way of the Big Blue train here.
