Florida’s loss to Georgia on Saturday didn’t do the program any favors in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll update.
The Gators once again failed to receive a single vote in the weekly update following a three-score loss to the Bulldogs. This marks the third-straight week that Florida has failed to garner any support from coaches around the country, and there’s little reason to think Florida will re-enter the top 25 by the end of the season.
As far as the rest of the SEC goes, Georgia remains on top of the college football world at No. 1 in the rankings and 45 out of a possible 63 first-place votes. Tennessee remained at No. 3 after beating No. 24 Kentucky, and Alabama is still in the playoff hunt at No. 6. Ole Miss is hanging on to a top-10 spot, and LSU is at No. 17 to round out the list.
Arkansas, South Carolina and Mississippi State each had 10 points or less in the final voting tally.
Not a single member of Florida’s “big 3” (UF, FSU and Miami) picked up a vote this week, but UCF is now ranked at No. 25 on the list. Perhaps that Gasparilla Bowl win wasn’t so much of a fluke?
