After the loss to Auburn, the Gators dropped to #9 in the poll this week. Not too bad. Florida still managed to jump Oklahoma, who also lost. Interestingly enough, Kentucky moved ahead of the Gators to #8, something that I can't remember ever happening before. Also, South Florida jumped to #6 in the poll after their big win vs. West Virginia, and they are ahead of the Gators for the first time ever. And finally, LSU is #1. This is good news for the Gators because it means a victory in Death Valley will be that much more valuable.
With match ups against two top 10 teams on the road (at LSU, at Kentucky) in the next two weeks, the Gators have the opportunity to make or break their season. Two victories would get them right back in the National Championship picture, one victory would keep them in SEC contention, and two losses effectively would end the Gators' hopes for any sort of major accomplishments. Beyond that, Georgia is now #12 and South Carolina is #11, so the Gators have the opportunity for some major victories, but they'll have to do it away from The Swamp.
