The Florida Gators got a breather with a bye but most of their other college football peers were in action last weekend, with plenty of excitement on the gridiron stretching from coast to coast.
The biggest result in Week 5’s collegiate gridiron action was the Alabama Crimson Tide’s home win over the Georgia Bulldogs, which came in dramatic fashion as SEC games are wont to. The 41-34 final score caused quite a bit of movement in the polls and rankings.
Among them is the USA TODAY Sports re-rank put together by Paul Myerberg, who submitted his ranking of all 134 FBS schools based on their performances through the first five weeks.
Florida’s Week 5 re-rank position
Myerberg moved the Gators up two spots to No. 69 in his re-rank despite not taking the field this weekend. Florida now sits between the No. 68 Georgia Southern Eagles and No. 70 San Jose State Spartans.

The Texas Longhorns now occupy the top spot in the rankings, followed by Alabama, the Ohio State Buckeyes, Tennessee Volunteers and Georgia, respectively, to round out the top five.
The Oregon Ducks came in sixth, while the Penn State Nittany Lions, Miami Hurricanes, Iowa State and Missouri Tigers, respectively, wrap up the top 10 programs in the re-rank.
