Florida moved up two spots to No. 11 in the latest Associated Press college football rankings.
The Gators (9-3) are coming of a 41-14 win Saturday at Florida State. Florida had 536 offensive yards and reinforced its case for an at-large spot in a New Year’s Six bowl game.
“That’s hard for me to say because only 12 teams get to go do that,” Florida coach Dan Mullen said. “We’ve certainly put ourselves in the conversation as one of those teams.”
The next to the last College Football Playoff rankings, where the Gators are also No. 11, is Tuesday. The final one is next Sunday after Saturday’s conference title games.
Notes: Florida rushed for 200-plus yards for the eighth time this season Saturday. That matched its combined total from 2015-17. The Gators’ 2,762 yards rushing is the fourth-highest total since the start of 1990.
Florida also had 500 or more offensive yards for a third straight game, which also includes wins over South Carolina and Idaho to close the regular season.
