10. Florida Gators

Previous Ranking: 11

Even despite dropping their fourth-straight game with a 33-31 road loss at Missouri, Florida still rises a spot from No. 11 to No. 10. Racking up 500 yards of total offense, Florida would actually outscore the Tigers, 24-20, in the second half, but it would not be enough to overcome a 13-7 halftime deficit.

Now sitting at 5-6 overall, as well as 3-5 in SEC play, Florida will host in-state rival Florida State on Saturday needing a win to qualify for a bowl game.

9. Kentucky Wildcats

Previous Ranking: 8

Dropping a spot from No. 8 to No. 9 is Kentucky, as the Wildcats dropped their second-straight game with a 17-14 road loss at South Carolina. Despite out-gaining the Gamecocks, 293-257, in total yardage, Kentucky would commit three turnovers in the contest, as well as be shutout in the fourth quarter.

Now sitting at 6-5 overall, as well as 3-5 in SEC play, Kentucky will travel this Saturday for an in-state rivalry matchup at Louisville.
