A step deeper into the week, we turn our attention away from the past weekend and ahead to the Florida Gators’ next game against the LSU Tigers at home in The Swamp. However, there is still plenty of time between then and now, so let us take a look at the news around Gators sports in the meantime.
After Florida’s flop against the Texas A&M Aggies and the Georgia Bulldogs‘ authoritative win over the Tennessee Volunteers, UGA has emerged as the clear favorite in the Southeastern Conference East Division. The stumbles of LSU and the Auburn Tigers have left the Alabama Crimson Tide as the clear leader in the conference’s West division.
In other college football news, Florida drops to No. 12 in USA TODAY Sports’ re-rank released on Monday. Alabama stays at No. 2 and Georgia moves up to No. 3 while several SEC teams experience steep drops.
Here is the rest of the news from the Gator Nation.
