Gators In The AP & Coaches Polls (3/10/2025) [Update at #147]

think that's old, saw that we dropped to 6th

 

That's the coaches poll. #5 still in AP.

 

Still at #5 (Coaches Poll still at #6) . . .

 

How does Tennessee move up 4 spots when they lost at home midweek? That makes absolutely no sense at all. There is no way in heck that is a top 4 team. What a joke

 

UF drops one spot to #6

 

You have to look at the respect that they are giving to the quality of our program. To lose midweek, lose your most important player and another starter, and beat a team of our caliber by 20 points, says a lot about the character of the team.

 

"Tennessee's 20-point win over Florida was the largest win against an AP top 5 opponent in program history."

 

9 sec teams in top 25. 5 in top 10, including 3 of top 4. Wow.

 

That’s flattering and all but it’s still ridiculous. They lost to a Kentucky team playing without two starters and then that Kentucky team lost at home to a bad Arkansas team on Saturday

 

Arkansas is finding its footing, don’t sleep on them. Typical Calipari team, coming together late in the season.

 

AP:

#1 AU (34)
#2 UA (23)
#3 UF (3)
#4 DU (0)
#5 UT (1)

 

I'm surprised, TBH.

Jumped Duke, UTk, and Houston.

In other big SEC moves:
Ole Miss up 6 to 19
Mizzou down 6 to 21

 

UF and Dook actually tied for #3 in the AP poll. We are #3 in the coaches poll. We did get 3 #1 votes.

 

We came in at #3 - tied with Duke
AP men's poll reaction: What you need to know about each Top 25 team

 

Beat me to it
Nice to see those #1 votes

 

I'm shocked they jumped us over UT. They had a great week and a half including kicking our tails. The SEC Tournament is going to be better than the NCAA Tournament this year.

 

Fair ranking. Auburn clearly the best resume of everyone despite the loss. Alabama on a roll and one will drop this week.

 

SEC is now a basketball conference.

Cool.

 

Next bunch of games until Bama are manageable. We are favored in all 7 remaining games except that one. Pretty insane.

 

Tomorrow will be tough as will all remaining games. No nights off in this year's SEC schedule.
