But Florida reigns when it comes to bowl games, and the state's pro teams aren't bad either. The Jacksonville Jaguars failed to make the playoffs this season but reached the AFC championship game a year ago. Tampa Bay was eliminated from the playoffs Sunday but played in the NFC title game last year. The Dolphins, who have made the playoffs each of the last four seasons, beat Indianapolis in overtime last week and play Saturday at Oakland. The second-ranked Hurricanes have a shot at their fifth national title if they beat the Gators.
Coaches are eager to get out in that sunshine and teach.
