The Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports for Week 10 is officially out and there is some great news for Gators fans after a resounding victory over their rivals the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday to take control of the Southeastern Conference East Division.
The Florida Gators began the week ranked eighth in the nation after an impressive win over Missouri to end October. Saturday’s victory vaulted the Orange and Blue back into the top five at No. 5 for the first time since college football’s Week 5 — that is a lot of fives — when they were tied for third with the Bulldogs and carried a 2-0 record.
The SEC remains well-represented at the top end of the poll, with the Alabama Crimson Tide taking over in first place while the Clemson Tigers — who lost the top perch for the first time this season — tumbled to No. 4. The Texas A&M Aggies sit at No. 6 just behind the Gators while Georgia stumbled to No. 11; the Auburn Tigers remained at No. 21 after a bye week to wrap up the league schools in this week’s top 25.
