The Florida Gators are back on track and clearly the hottest team in the SEC right now with their four-game winning streak.

At this point, we feel safe calling that home loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores a couple of weeks ago a complete and total fluke.

Florida then won three straight games by over 30 points, and two of them were by at least 35 points.

Then they hosted the Kentucky Wildcats, clearly the top team in the SEC, and dominated the game en route to a 20-point win.

In the process, the Gators have earned this top spot in our SEC Power Rankings this week, and all of a sudden, Mike White’s team could be the one in the conference thinking about the No. 1 seed.

Currently, they are No. 10 in the RPI with their 18-5 record and 8-2 conference record to go with their No. 14 ranked strength of schedule.

And if they can get past the Georgia Bulldogs on the road this week, their only road game left against a Top 60 RPI team is Kentucky.

Outside of that, every other tough game is at home, including a rematch with the South Carolina Gamecocks, and it can help them beef up their resume and get to 25 wins in the process.

So the possibilities are endless for this team, and right now, they clearly belong in the top spot of our SEC Power Rankings.
