Florida football is ranked No. 8 in the Associated Press poll, a higher position than the team held previously.

The ranking

The Associated Press poll places Florida at No. 8. The poll is a national ranking of college football teams.

The change means Florida has climbed into the poll’s top 10. The ranking identifies the Gators as one of the teams listed between No. 1 and No. 10.

What the ranking shows

The AP ranking records the standing of Florida football at the time of the latest poll. It does not by itself determine a conference title, playoff berth or final season result.

Florida’s position can change when the Associated Press releases another poll. Future rankings will show whether the team moves higher, moves lower or remains at No. 8.

Next update

The next AP Poll will provide the next official ranking for Florida football. Until then, Florida is listed at No. 8.

What to watch

  • Florida’s position in the next AP Poll.
  • Whether the team remains in the top 10.
  • Any future change in the national ranking.
