Florida cracked the top 3 of the Fansided Top 25 this week, joining Alabama and Oregon, which have been jockeying at the top for several weeks. The Gators escaped a potential trap game at Vanderbilt, but also benefited from the LSU win over South Carolina. The Gators’ defeat of the Tigers has greater significance with LSU beating a team that last week hit the top 5.
Notre Dame and Kansas State round out the top five, both surviving tests on Saturday to stay unbeaten.
