Florida rolled to the 2006 National Championship dismantling Ohio State in the BCS title game. The Gators had just one blemish on their record last year, a 27-17 loss at Auburn. The Tigers will travel to Gainesville this fall as UF looks for payback. But they'll have to pull it off with only eight returning starters.

Check below for an early look at Auburn's fifth game of the season at Florida.
