The Florida Gators got some good news on Sunday despite sitting the weekend out — and next weekend as well — due to a coronavirus outbreak on the team. According to the latest update to the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports, UF moved up one spot from No. 9 to No. 8 after college football’s Week 7 action.
Three other Southeastern Conference teams sit in the latest top-10, including Texas A&M, who jumped two spots to take the No. 9 position right behind the Gators. Despite a loss to the second-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, the Georgia Bulldogs dropped only one notch to No. 4 — switching places with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish — giving the SEC two of the top-4 teams in the nation.
However, this past weekend was otherwise a tumultuous one for the conference’s middle-of-the-pack teams, with the Auburn Tigers and the Tennessee Volunteers dropping from No. 14 and No. 17, respectively, out of the polls, leaving the league with only the four aforementioned member schools in the top-25.
