Florida freefalls out of USAT re-rank top 25 after South Carolina loss
After a second straight blowout loss, the Florida Gators find themselves outside of USA TODAY. Sports' college football re-rank top 25.
Florida football experienced a demoralizing 38-19 loss to South Carolina in Week 6, marking their first homecoming game since 2018. The Gators looked outmatched on both sides of the ball, eroding the positivity from their first four wins under Jon Sumrall. After six weeks of college football, USA TODAY Sports writer Paul Myerberg released a re-ranking of all 138 FBS teams, with Florida dropping 17 spots out of the top 25 to No. 33.
They fell between No. 32 Wisconsin and No. 34 Baylor, and also dropped out of the top 25 in both major polls. The Gators now have 32 and 9 votes in the US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25, respectively. The SEC boasts nine schools in USA TODAY Sports' re-ranked top 25, with Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and Ole Miss leading the pack. Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, LSU, and Mississippi State follow.
Oklahoma sits at No. 29 outside the top 25. The Gators' next game is against the Longhorns in Austin on Saturday, Oct. 17, starting at noon ET on ABC.
