The Florida State Seminoles held on to the No. 1 spot in the first regular-season editions of the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and USA Today Coaches’ Poll, released on Tuesday.
Unranked in either preseason poll for the first time since 2003 and not finding a spot in USA Today‘s preseason rankings for the first time since it took over the coaches’ poll in 1991, the Florida Gators remained unranked after their scheduled season-opener against the Idaho Vandals was suspended due to weather.
UF did, however, finish within the top five unranked teams in both polls.
Florida State received 46-of-60 first-place votes in the AP poll and 57-of-62 first-place votes in the USA Today rankings, making it the overwhelming choice for top team in the country this week.
