The football team, as is the case for all other SEC schools, competes in the higher of two classifications, the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), which is still frequently referred to by its former designation of Division I-A. Florida plays an eight-game conference schedule, headlined by annual SEC Eastern division showdowns against Tennessee and Georgia, the latter being held in Jacksonville, Florida every year and formerly dubbed "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party." The permanent SEC West team the Gators face every season is LSU. In addition, the team has a yearly out-of-conference meeting with in-state rival Florida State at the end of the season. The football team has been one of the winningest in Division I-A/FBS since 1990, the year Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Steve Spurrier returned to his alma mater as coach. The 1996 team, led by another Heisman winner, Danny Wuerffel, went 12-1 and won the national championship game in the Sugar Bowl, avenging an earlier loss to rival Florida State. Following the 2001 season, Spurrier left the program to try his hand at coaching in the National Football League. Ron Zook, at one time the defensive coordinator under Spurrier, was hired as his replacement. Zook's squads were known for their inconsistency, and he was fired midway through the 2004 season, following a surprise loss to the Bulldogs of Mississippi State in Starkville, MS. Urban Meyer was announced as Florida Football's new head coach in December 2004. His first season in 2005 brought an immediate improvement of Florida's record at 9-3, with signature wins over all three of Florida's top rivals. The team narrowly missed out on playing for the SEC title due to a shocking loss to Spurrier's new team, the South Carolina Gamecocks. The 2006 team played for the school's second National Championship in January 2007, beating the Ohio State Buckeyes by the score of 41-14 to win Florida's second football national title. The Gators have won the SEC Championship Game a record 6 times in 8 tries since the game began in 1992. They won their first official conference title in 1991, the last year before the game was played
