Florida remains outside of AP Poll's top 25 after Week 2 win
Despite a blowout victory over FCS Campbell, Florida football still finds itself outside of the top 25 in the AP Poll after Week 2.
The Florida Gators secured a convincing 52-3 victory over the Campbell Fighting Camels at their home stadium, marking their first two-game winning streak since 2021. The offense displayed remarkable performance, while the special teams and defense showed signs of improvement after some struggles in the opener. Despite the impressive win, the Gators remain outside the AP Top 25 rankings, maintaining their de facto No. 27 position with 83 votes, identical to last week's tally.
This places the Gators behind Washington's 172 votes and ahead of Boise State's 57 votes. Additionally, Florida is ranked outside the USLB Coaches Poll top 25, slipping into the de facto 26th spot from 25th. Polls are conducted by several experts, including Koki Riley from The Advocate, who ranks Florida at No. 14, and Mike Griffith from AJC.com, who has the Gators at No. 15.
The team's next opponent is Auburn, scheduled to face them on September 19 at Jordan-Hare Stadium, with kickoff at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
