Florida dropped four spots to No. 10 in the latest Associated Press rankings Sunday.
The Gators (7-2, 4-2 SEC) will host Vanderbilt (2-6, 1-4) at 12 p.m. Saturday, with ESPN providing TV coverage.
The College Football Playoff rankings, the only one that matters for CFP selection, will be revealed after Week 10 games on Tuesday at about 9 p.m. on ESPN. The approximate start time is because the rankings will be revealed between the Kansas-Duke and Michigan State-Kentucky basketball games at Madison Square Garden.
The CFP teams and New Year’s Six teams will be revealed from 12-4 p.m. Dec. 8.

And Willie Taggart was fired today over at FSU.
Not bad. Gators still considered the best 2-loss team and ranked ahead of two undefeated teams. Easily in the hunt for a New Year’s Six bowl.
And Willie Taggart was fired today over at FSU.
Why do I get the feeling that we Gator fans shouldn’t be celebrating? Aw heck, once CDM gets it really rolling it won’t matter who’s roaming the sidelines at Dork Campbell Stadium.
11-2 should be the new goal. Beat FSU and beat Mizzou. Important for this program to do that.
You left out Vandy, Wadeless.
By the way, Willie Taggart was fired today over at FSU.
No, 11-2 would include vandy!
I’ll be damned if it doesn’t….I must have been thinking about Willie Taggart or sumpin’. 🤓
