After
a 37-20 victory over No. 23 Tennessee and their second-straight SEC road win,
the Florida football team continued their climb in the Top 25 as they moved up
to No. 14 in the Associated Press Poll and the USA Today Coaches’ Poll. The
Gators were previously ranked No. 18 in the Associated Press Poll and to No. 17
in the USA Today Coaches’ Poll. UF (3-0) will return to Gainesville as they
play host to conference opponent Kentucky on September 22 at 12:21 p.m. at The
Swamp. It will be the Gators’ first home conference game this season.
There
are five teams from the SEC currently ranked in the polls. Among the 12 teams
on Florida’s schedule, the Gators will face four teams present in rankings: No.
2 LSU (Oct. 6 at The Swamp), No. 4 Florida State (Nov. 24 in Tallahassee), No. 5
Georgia (Oct. 27 in Jacksonville) and No. 7 South Carolina (Oct. 20 at The
Swamp).
