The Florida Gators (7-4, 4-4 SEC) were knocked out of the top 25 polls for the first time under head coach Urban Meyer a few weeks ago after losing at home to Mississippi State. Back-to-back wins against Georgia in Jacksonville, FL, and Vanderbilt on the road saw Florida earn a spot back in all three polls two weeks ago, but Florida found themselves on the outside looking in once again after losing to South Carolina last week. Though the Gators did defeat the Appalachian State Mountaineers (9-1) on Saturday, the win was certainly not enough to vault them back into the rankings.
