It’s been nearly a year and a half since the last time the Florida Gators were ranked. And that did not go over so well.
Rejoining the polls this week at No. 22, the Gators are more mature and have a stronger mentality than the team that found itself ranked 6th a season ago.
Though it’s been a season of ups and downs, Florida has finally found a bit of consistency with four consecutive wins. The Gators earned respect on a national level, taking down (at the time) No. 6 Tennessee and No. 11 West Virginia over the last two weeks.
