A currently open lawsuit and investigation is the reason the Florida Gators will not fire Billy Napier any time soon.

Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier could've avoided overtime against the Tennessee Vols on Saturday night in Knoxville. But instead, Napier played for overtime after initially sending his offense onto the field for a two-point conversion with the Gators trailing 17-16 late in the fourth quarter.

It was a battle to the final play, but in the end, the Florida Gators fell to the Tennessee Volunteers in college football's Week 7 in Knoxville, sending the Orange and Blue to an even 3-3 overall record but just 1-2 against Southeastern Conference foes.

Now sitting at 3-3 overall with a 1-2 mark against conference competition, Florida remains voteless in both polls and also lost ground in some of the re-ranks, such as The Athletic’s Chris Vannini. Vannini’s Week 7 college football re-rank for all 134 FBS schools saw the Gators slip five spots from No.

Florida football fell to an even 3-3 overall record this weekend after a 23-17 overtime loss at the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville — a game that the Gators had opportunities to win but simply could not pull off the upset.
