The fifth regular season editions of the USA Today Coaches’ Poll and Associated Press Top 25 were released on Monday with the Arizona Wildcats taking over as the No. 1-ranked team in the country. Arizona received 30-of-32 first-place votes from the coaches and 63-of-65 first-place votes from the AP voters.
The Florida Gators (6-2), fresh off a buzzer-beating 65-64 loss on the road against previously 12th-ranked UConn on Monday, evened out at No. 19 by dropping seven spots in the USA Today rankings and four places in the AP top 25.
Florida checked in with 258 points (-168) in the USA Today poll and 434 points (-324) in the AP rankings.
The Gators will play two more top-25 teams in non-conference action.
