More than halfway through the college football season, the national title contenders have cemented themselves near the top of the rankings with the BCS standings coming out for the first time this week.
We’ve gathered a handful of our esteemed Gator Country members and asked them to pick their own Top 25, so we can put together our very own Top 25 poll!
We continue the season with 12 pollsters taking part, and today we debut our Week 7 poll!
With fewer pollsters taking part this week, there was some movement near the top of the Gator Country Top 25. Alabama claimed the top spot from LSU, while Oklahoma also moved out in front of the Tigers, who fell to third this week.
Wisconsin and Stanford held onto the No. 4 and No. 5 spots this week, while Oklahoma State flipped with Boise State at No. 6 and No. 7, respectively.
Clemson, Oregon and Arkansas all held firm to round out the Top 10.
South Carolina moved up one spot to No. 12, giving the SEC four teams in the Top 12 of this week’s GC Top 25. Auburn was the only other ranked SEC team, checking in at No. 24 after a 17-6 win over Florida.
The Gators were not ranked for the second consecutive week.
Here is the complete Gator Country Top 25 for Week 7:
