Florida has gotten some attention this week after beating Georgia in dominating fashion on Saturday. The Gators are now the clear favorite to represent the SEC East at the conference title game in Atlanta on Dec. 19, but they’re thinking even bigger.
With the win, they’re back in the top five of this week’s CBS Sports college football power rankings. UF is ranked No. 5, up two spots from a week ago. It’s now the second highest-ranked SEC team behind No. 2 Alabama.
Florida is ahead of No. 9 Texas A&M despite suffering a loss to the Aggies on Oct. 10, and Georgia fell six spots to No. 10 after dropping its second game of the season.
Here’s what CBS’ Dennis Dodd said about the Gators’ performance against Georgia.
There is a changing of the guard in the SEC East. For the first time in four years, the Gators beat Georgia and all but clinched the division. Kyle Trask should be the Heisman frontrunner — or something close to it — after tossing four more touchdowns. He is no Joe Burrow yet, but after five games in their respective breakout seasons, they both are even at 22 touchdown passes.
