2007 National Championship BCS University of Florida Gators Ring 10K Brandon James

Description

Presented is a 2006-07 BCS National Champions ring issued to the University of Florida’s wide receiver, Brandon James. Manufactured by Jostens, the 10-karat white gold ring comes in his size 10.5 (weight 53.8 grams). Florida’s second national championship (the first being with the “Ole Ball Coach” Steve Spurrier in ’96) coincided with the centennial anniversary of Gator football. The face has a large “1” inset within a faceted, football-shaped blue stone on a bed of CZ’s. The left shank shows “FLORIDA GATORS FOOTBALL” above a colorful, enameled Gators logo with their “13-1” season record just above. The right shank has “CALDWELL” on the top, “2007” at the bottom and the Bowl Championship Series emblem in the middle. “J 10K” is stamped inside the band.

It is important to note that National Championship teams in football began receiving two rings in 2002, one from their school dated with the season year and the other from the BCS with the year the National Championship game was actually played. This ring is the one issued by the BCS to players and coaches. The BCS ones are considered a bit more valuable among collectors.
