CBS Sports released its latest college football power rankings on Monday with Week 2 of the 2020 season now in the rearview mirror. While there are plenty of familiar names at the top of the list, there are a few interesting placements of note.
The Florida Gators are ranked No. 7 according to these rankings, while in CBS Sports’ primary college football poll, UF sits in fifth place — which is a bit of an odd inconsistency. Additionally, Notre Dame leapfrogs into the fourth and Oklahoma surprisingly slides into second place, mostly by virtue of winning their season-opening games. Unsurprisingly, Clemson retains the top position after claiming a victory in their opening match.
Overall, the Southeastern Conference holds five of the 10 spots at the top of the rankings, with Alabama at No. 3, Georgia at No. 5, LSU at No. 8 and Auburn at No. 10 to round them out. Also included in the top-25 are Texas A&M (No. 12), Kentucky (No. 18) and Tennessee (No. 22).
Here is a brief blurb on what they had to say about the Gators.
It’s the Gators that are supposed to be on fire this season, not their stadium. Let’s hope the Saturday blaze at The Swamp isn’t a bad omen.
