At 6-2, people might have some serious questions as to why we have the Florida Gators all the way down at No. 10 in our SEC Power Rankings. After all, they’re first in the East aren’t they?

Well, yes they are, but they have had the weakest schedule of anybody to date. Florida has played two decent teams this year, the Tennessee Vols and Arkansas Razorbacks this past Saturday. And both teams trounced them.

All four of their conference wins are against the teams ranked below them in these power rankings. Their other two wins are against the 4-5 North Texas Mean Green and the 2-8 UMASS Minutemen. Jim McElwain is coaching far and away the worst 6-2 team in college football right now.

The Gators’ offense got exposed this past weekend once again when they got blown out against the Arkansas Razorbacks, as Luke Del Rio only got them past midfield once. The defense also collapsed. They’ve done that against he only two decent teams they’ve faced.

Now, Austin Appleby is back in for an injured Del Rio. And the Gators have to face a resurgent South Carolina Gamecocks program along with the LSU Tigers. Oh, and the Florida State Seminoles are still on the slate.

So this team has a heck of a lot to prove.
