Florida barely beat USF on Saturday, but the Gators are still ranked in the top 25 of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
UF came in at No. 22 on Sunday’s Week 3 update, a one-spot drop after the Gators fell from No. 19 to 21 last weekend. That feels a bit kind, considering Florida’s struggles at home against a mediocre team, but this is still the same team that upset No. 8 Utah in Week 1.
The Gators face No. 12 Tennessee next week and could move up a few spots with a road win. It’ll be the third ranked matchup of the season for Florida and is essentially a must-win with Georgia and Texas A&M still on the schedule.
