Florida Gators take a precipitous fall in second NET ratings of the season

The Florida Gators men’s basketball team took a precipitous tumble in the second NET ratings of the season, which were published on Monday by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

After starting off at No. 22 in the initial ratings released last week, UF fell 33 spots all the way to No. 55 in the nation after a pair of embarrassing losses to the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Kentucky Wildcats — both games they were favored by at least 3.5 points in, per BetMGM.

The Gonzaga Zags and the Baylor Bears unsurprisingly occupy the top two spots, respectively. The Southeastern Conference has three schools in the top 25 this week, with the Tennessee Volunteers holding strong to their No. 3 spot, while the Arkansas Razorbacks and LSU Tigers — the latter of whom provided the Gators with their most recent win — sit at No. 21 and 22, respectively.

The Michigan Wolverines at No. 4 and Iowa Hawkeyes at No. 5 occupy the final two spots in this week’s ratings.
