Florida inches up ESPN's college football power rankings after Week 1 win
After throttling FCS opponent Campbell in Week 2, the Florida Gators gained some ground in ESPN's latest college football power rankings.
The Florida Gators have had a strong start to the 2026 season, winning their first two games for the first time since 2021. After defeating FAU and Campbell, ESPN's staff has included the Orange and Blue on their college football power rankings, currently ranking them at No. 22. This is a two-spot improvement from last week's regular-season update.
The Gators have shown significant improvement in both offense and special teams, with standout performances from players like Vernell Brown III and Jacquez Green. Florida has also scored over 50 points in consecutive games for the first time since 2009. Other teams in this week's power rankings include Texas, Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss.
