Florida Gators Enter AP Top 25 at No. 8 After Upset Win Over Ole Miss

Florida shot into the top 10 of the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2021, slotting in at the No. 8 spot after stunning No. 9 Ole Miss in The Swamp. The Gators went from unranked to the top 10 after the 4-0 start under first-year coach Jon Sumrall.

Outside of the Gators, the top three of the poll was unmoved, with No. 1 Texas, No. 2 Georgia and No. 3 Notre Dame leading the way. Miami jumped two spots to No. 4 behind star quarterback Darian Mensah's monster effort. Ohio State sits at No. 5, while Indiana dropped to No. 6 after a close call against Northwestern.

No. 22 Boise State became the first Group of Six team to crash the rankings after crushing Western Michigan 32-6 on Saturday, picking up a second win over a Group of Six playoff hopeful. No. 16 Mississippi, No. 23 UCLA and No. 24 Kentucky also slid into the poll for the first time after long absences.
