COLLEGE FOOTBALL / DAILY BOWL REPORT : SUGAR : Mountaineers Still Looking for No. 1
No. 3 West Virginia was still complaining about its ranking as it landed in New Orleans to prepare for the Sugar Bowl game against Florida.
“If we would win this game, I think it would be a crime if we weren’t ranked No. 1,” guard Tom Robsock said.
Florida (10-2) can’t win a national title, but that doesn’t stop the team from wanting the bowl title. “We have so much to play for,” Florida Coach Steve Spurrier said. “We have a chance to be Florida’s first team to ever win the Sugar Bowl, to be Florida’s first team to ever win 11 games.”

West Virginia quarterback Jake Kelchner says that he is fully recovered from hamstring and elbow injuries that kept him out of the crucial moments of the team’s comeback victory over Boston College on Nov. 26.
“I’m back to 100%,” Kelchner said. “It’s nice.”
