Gators move up in polls after LSU win

Florida's 30-point win over then-No. 4 LSU Saturday night vaulted the Gators back into to Top 5 in one poll, the Top 10 in another.

Florida is ranked No. 5 in the AP poll, ahead of three undefeated teams: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and BYU.

However, in the USA Today Coaches Poll, the Gators are ranked No. 7, behind Texas Tech, and BYU.

Texas, with its win over last week's No. 1 Oklahoma, jumped Alabama to take over the No. 1 position in both polls.

The Gators (5-1) will be off this week, then host Kentucky on Oct. 25.

Here is the AP Top 10:

1. Texas (6-0)

2. Alabama (6-0)

3. Penn State (7-0)

4. Oklahoma (5-1)

5. Florida (5-1)

6. USC (4-1)

7. Texas Tech (6-0)

8. Oklahoma State (6-0)

9. BYU (6-0)

10. Georgia (5-1)
