The Florida Gators (9-1, 7-1 SEC) climbed three spots in the latest College Football Playoff poll to No. 8 in the country when the rankings were released on Tuesday night.

The Gators will face two more ranked teams this season in No. 14 Florida State and No. 2 Alabama in the SEC Championship game.
With three more weekends left before the final rankings come out and the top four teams that will participate in the playoff are picked the Gators continue to control their own destiny.
