Trounced 31-6 to the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide on the road at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, AL, on Saturday, the Florida Gators (4-1, 2-1 SEC) fell in both the USA Today and Associated Press Top 25 polls.

Ranked No. 7 in both polls last week, the coaches dropped Florida five spots to No. 12 leaving them as the highest-ranked one-loss team. The AP voters obviously disagreed, placing the Gators at No. 14 behind one-loss Arkansas (No. 11) and Miami (No. 13).
