Note: Chris Doering is my highest rated Gator football player that did not make it as a first-team All American. #1-#41 and #62-#69 are all first-team All American. The gap is due to #1-#61 being Gator Greats or future Gator Greats, since I weighed that higher in terms of relevance in my top 100 greatest Gator list.
