Even with an upset of No. 2 Auburn at home on Saturday — which marked Florida’s first win against a top-two team since 2009 — the 17-10 Gators are nowhere to be found on the latest update to the USA TODAY Sports Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll.
The conference as a whole saw some change, as the Tigers fell to No. 4 with the loss while Kentucky remained at No. 3. Tennessee fell four spots to No. 17, while Arkansas, who just beat the Vols on Saturday, moves up six spots to the No. 18 spot. Finally, Alabama is back in the poll at No. 25 despite a loss on Saturday to the Wildcats.
The SEC is in good shape still with at least six teams likely to make the NCAA Tournament with just a little over two weeks left in the regular season.
