Gators stand pat in CBS Sports’ post-Week 2 rankings

Florida remained ranked No. 5, the third-highest ranked program in the SEC behind Alabama and Georgia, neither of whom have played.

With Week 2 of the college football season in the books, CBS Sports has released its latest rankings of the 76 teams competing this fall.

The biggest risers on the poll were Army, Louisiana-Lafayette and BYU, who all moved into the top 30. Among the biggest fallers was Florida State, who was upset at home by Georgia Tech, who went 3-9 in 2019, 16-13 in coach Mike Norvell’s debut. The Seminoles fell 18 spots from No. 22 to No. 40.

Florida, who is still just under two weeks from its season opener at Ole Miss, remained ranked No. 5, the third-highest ranked program in the SEC behind No. 2 Alabama and No. 4 Georgia, neither of whom have played yet, either.

The top 10 saw several changes, notably Texas moving from No. 11 to No. 8 after a 59-3 win over UTEP. Notre Dame moved up a spot to No. 6 after a lackluster 27-13 win over Duke in its first-ever conference game, while No. 7 LSU, No. 9 Auburn and No. 10 Texas A&M each dropped a spot despite not playing.

Here’s the full CBS Sports top 25 after the second week of action.
