The fourth regular season editions of the USA Today Coaches’ Poll and Associated Press Top 25 were released on Monday with the Michigan State Spartans sticking as the No. 1-ranked team in the country. Michigan State received 31-of-32 first-place votes from the coaches and 63-of-65 first-place votes from the AP voters.

The Florida Gators (6-1), fresh off a pair of victories on the road at Jacksonvile (86-60) on Monday and at home against Florida State (67-60) on Friday, moved up one spot to No. 13 in the USA Today rankings and stayed even at No. 15 in the AP top 25.

Florida checked in with 426 points (+31) in the USA Today poll and 758 points (+29) in the AP rankings.

The Gators will play three more top-25 teams in non-conference action.
