The unofficial start of college football in the Southeastern Conference is upon us with media days taking place this week in Hoover, Ala.

The three-day event runs Tuesday-Thursday and GatorCountry.com has tons of coverage planned on each of the 14 teams, especially the Florida Gators.

This page will serve as SEC Media Days Central and will be updated throughout the event with links to all of the stories we are planning to produce. By the end of the event, Gator Country will have some three dozen stories and they’ll be posted in a fast and furious fashion.

That means many of the stories may get scrolled off of our home page before members have a chance to read them, so this page provides a one-stop shop to easily find links to all of our stories.

For starters, we posted a preview of SEC Media Days with things to expect, a schedule for each team and a list of all of the players who are slated to be in attendance. Each head coach will be joined by three of their players. In addition to coach Will Muschamp, Florida football will be represented by Mike Gillislee, Lerentee McCray and Jon Bostic.
