Gators stick at No. 4 in BCS, up to No. 5 in polls

The Florida Gators remained at No. 4 when the seventh edition of the BCS standings were announced Sunday night. Florida, with a .888 (+.045), checked in behind undefeated Notre Dame and the participants in the 2012 SEC Championship, Alabama and Georgia. The Gators are one of six SEC teams in the top 10.

Florida went 4-1 against the top 13 teams in the BCS with victories over No. 7 LSU, No. 9 Texas A&M, No. 10 South Carolina and No. 13 Florida State. Its sole loss this season came at the hands of No. 3 UGA, which it is .003 points behind.

Early Sunday afternoon, the final regular season editions of the USA Today Coaches and Associated Press Top 25 polls were released with the Gators checking in as a unanimous top-five team following their big victory on Saturday.

Florida moved up one spot to No. 5 in the human polls. The Gators were awarded 1,265 voting points (+99) in the USA Today poll and 1,262 voting points (+91) in the AP top 25.

UF is also No. 5 in the Harris Poll, which is used to calculate the BCS standings.

Notre Dame, the only undefeated team in the country (aside from ineligible Ohio State), is now the near-unanimous No. 1 team nationally, receiving 116-of-119 first-place votes from the USA Today coaches and AP voters.

Though Florida is unlikely to have a spot in the national championship game when those participants are announced in two weeks, the Gators should finish in the top four of the BCS standings, guaranteeing them a bid to the Sugar Bowl.
