Gators back in top 10; what they're writing after win at Missouri
Monday, October 12, 2015 | Football, Scott Carter
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Gators are back in the top 10.
Unranked three weeks ago, Florida entered the AP Top 25 at No. 25 after a dramatic 28-27 come-from-behind victory over Tennessee on Sept. 26. The Gators jumped a school-record 14 spots in the poll after their 38-10 victory over then-No. 3 Ole Miss the following week.
And after Saturday's 21-3 victory at two-time defending SEC East champion Missouri, the Gators moved up three more spots (from No. 11 to No. 8) in this week's AP Top 25.
The No. 8-ranked Gators (6-0, 4-0) play at No. 6 LSU (5-0, 3-0) on Saturday night.
This is the first time the Gators have been ranked in the top 10 since they were No. 3 heading into a loss to Louisville in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2, 2013.
Florida is No. 11 in the latest Amway Coaches Poll.
