3-0. Previous: 3rd. Aggies . 4. team. 873.

Texas A&M falls a spot by virtue of what Florida did to Alabama. They haven’t done anything wrong, but they do face off against the best Arkansas team we have seen in years on Saturday and everything could come crashing down for the Ags in a minute if they aren’t careful.

They have two more games before Alabama and a whole lot to figure out before then.

Florida jumps up a spot after a near knockoff against the Crimson Tide in The Swamp. They stood toe-to-toe with the Tide in a way that no one expected them to and, as a result, move into the top three of the conference.

Now, they prepare for the easier part of their schedule — the SEC East — starting with Tennessee this week.
