Gators Unranked but Loaded with Top Opponents | Florida Gators Football News

Florida Gators start 2026 unranked in the AP preseason poll with just 51 votes, trailing Clemson’s 112 — continuing a streak of preseason snubs since 2021. Their last two consecutive ranked seasons ended in 2021, and they last opened ranked at No. 13 before falling after a tough loss. But don’t sleep on them: they’ll face five ranked teams this year, including a showdown with Oklahoma on Nov. 7 — the day they’ll honor legendary coach Urban Meyer in the Ring of Honor. The AP poll will update weekly, with the College Football Playoff rankings taking over later to shape the postseason race.
