I am convinced that all the Florida schools conspired last week to make my job more difficult. Thanks guys.
1. Florida Gators (6-1, 4-1 SEC) (Last Week: 1)
Last Week: at Vanderbilt Commodores (3-4) W 37-27
Next opponent: Bye week
It may not have been pretty, but the Gators were able to pull off a come from behind win on the road against Vanderbilt. The Gators' offense finally came through for them, as Feleipe Franks threw for nearly 300 yards and 2 touchdowns. Florida also had two different 100 yard rushers in Jordan Scarlett and Lamical Perine.
2. Central Florida Knights (6-0, 3-0 AAC) (Last Week: 3)
Last Week: at Memphis Tigers (4-3) W 31-30
Next opponent: at East Carolina Pirates (2-4)
Much like Florida, UCF has an ugly come from behind victory on the road. The Knights outscored Memphis 14-0 in the second half in the win. UCF was led by McKenzie Milton, who threw for 296 yards and completed nearly 60% of his passes. Richie Grant led the way on defense with 12 tackles.
3. Miami Hurricanes (5-2, 2-1 ACC) (Last Week: 2)
Last week: at Virginia Cavaliers (4-2) L 16-13
Next opponent: Bye week
UF and UCF may have had ugly wins, but Miami’s loss to Virginia was on a whole different level. This was like a varsity team losing to a JV team. Miami’s defense held Virginia’s QB Bryce Perkins to 92 yards passing and 3 interceptions and Miami still lost. That is an impressive feat. Miami’s bye week comes at an opportune time because there is a whole lot of changes that need to be made. The only question is, will they make the necessary changes?
4. South Florida Bulls (5-0, 2-0 AAC) (Last Week: 4)
Last week: at Tulsa Golden Hurricane (1-4) W 25-24
Next opponent: vs Connecticut Huskies (1-5)
Speaking of ugly wins, enter USF. USF went on the road to face a 1 win Tulsa team, but only won thanks to a 15 point 4th quarter. USF’s Blake Barnett did manage to throw for 237 yards, but he also had an interception and only completed 44% of his passes. Jordan Cronkrite sparked the offense by running for 151 yards and a touchdown.
5. Florida State Seminoles (3-3, 1-3 ACC) (Last Week: 5)
Last Week: Bye week
Next Opponent: vs Wake Forest Demon Deacons (3-3)
FSU had a bye week last week. The Seminoles have better be well rested, as they are heading into the toughest part of their schedule. 4 of FSU’s final 6 games are against ranked teams, with 3 of those teams in the top 11.
6. Florida International Panthers (3-2, 1-0 CUSA) (Last Week: 6)
Last Week: vs Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (3-3) W 24-21
Next Opponent: vs Rice Owls (1-6)
FIU’s win over the Blue Raiders brought us yet another come from behind win. FIU outscored Middle Tennessee 11-0 in the 4th quarter which was just enough to secure the victory. James Morgan led the offense with a career day. He threw for 311 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
7. Florida Atlantic Owls (3-3, 1-1 CUSA) (Last Week: 7)
Last Week: Bye week
Next Opponent: vs Marshall Thundering Herd (4-2)
FAU’s bye week comes as they are heading into the heat of C-USA play. The second half of their schedule is significantly less challenging than the 1st half, so we'll see if they can pick it up down the stretch.
