Wow, what a nail biter of a weekend of college football. Week 5 was definitely tough on the teams in Florida, but it’s over and bigger challenges loom. I’m here to offer an unbiased ranking of the state of Florida college football teams. This analysis is based off of the eye test, the records of each program, and a little expectation for what’s to come.
No sugar coating, so let’s dive in!
FBS Programs in the State of Florida: 7 (Florida Atlantic Owls, Florida Gators, Florida International Panthers, Florida State Seminoles, Miami Hurricanes, South Florida Bulls, and University of Central Florida Knights)
1: Miami Hurricanes - Next Game 10/5 @ Cal 10:30pm PST ESPN
Ranking: Associated Press - 8 (1170) Votes, AFCA Coaches Poll – 8 (981) Votes
Miami dropped 1 spot in the AP rankings after a sloppy performance in a Friday night win against Virginia Tech, but oddly enough they received more votes in this week’s poll than in any prior week this season.
