After having Oregon as our top team in the SB Nation BlogPoll over the past few weeks, we have demoted the Ducks to the No. 2 spot. In their place is the Florida Gators who have made a big jump in our poll over the last few weeks. The reason for the change at the top is who Florida has played this year. They have played a tougher schedule than Alabama and Oregon, and that factors into the jump for Florida.
However, look for Alabama to possibly get back into that top spot as they begin a stretch of three games against ranked teams.
The rest of the poll once again has a big shakeup, West Virginia is gone, and after two straight loses South Carolina took a dive to the bottom of the poll. The drop may be too much, but they were just crushed at Florida. Yes, Texas A&M moved up a spot despite losing, they had a good showing against LSU.
Well, here is the poll:
