Following back-to-back home victories against Top 25 opponents in the then-No. 24 Vanderbilt Commodores and then-No. 11 Kentucky Wildcats, the Florida Gators (18-5, 7-2 SEC) not only took a slightly larger lead in the Southeastern Conference East division, they also found more respect from voters in the latest ESPN/USA Today coaches’ and Associated Press polls released on Monday.

    This team loves to take it down to the wire. I love that they have finally strung together a couple of quality wins as a ranked team. Hopefully they can maintain this momentum and have a great February.

    If u ain’t a Gator, then u must be Gator bait! (Jernigan)
