in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Associated Press Top 25 poll does not look the same as it did one week ago. With three of the top four teams losing on Saturday, that should come as no surprise. Following Michigan’s loss to Iowa, Alabama is now a unanimous choice for the top spot. The Wolverines fell to fourth. Ohio State moved into Michigan’s former spot at No. 2 followed by Louisville, who replaced Clemson after the Tigers’ shocking loss to Pittsburgh. Washington, the former No.…

Seminoles on the rise in AP Top 25; Gators steady, ‘Canes drop

in Sports by

The Florida State Seminoles are on a wild ride in the AP Top 25 poll. One week after taking a huge fall following a loss to North Carolina, the Seminoles climbed nine spots to claim the No. 14 spot in this week’s poll. FSU’s 20-19 win at Miami, featuring a strong defensive performance, impressed enough voters to bring them back to some relevance. The Hurricanes dropped from No. 10 to No. 16. Florida remained at No. 18 following an unscheduled…

No. 18 Florida’s home game against LSU has been postponed because of looming and powerful Hurricane Matthew, which already has been blamed for more than 100 deaths and is threatening the southeastern U.S. coast. The Florida-LSU game was to be played Saturday. The teams were unable to agree on any alternative arrangements to play the game elsewhere this weekend, and the Southeastern Conference said they would try to reschedule – though that seems unlikely since the Gators and Tigers do…

Gators, ‘Canes on the way up, FSU headed down in AP Top 25

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The top two teams in the AP Top 25 football poll remained the same this week, but Florida teams were on the move. Only two of those teams are moving in the right direction. Alabama and Ohio State kept their No. 1 and No. 2 positions, respectively, but entering the Top 10 are the Miami Hurricanes. Miami climbed four spots from last week after their impressive win at Georgia Tech. The Florida Gators, despite a less-than-awe-inspiring win over Vanderbilt, claimed the No.…

Two huge college football showdowns on tap Saturday

in Sports by

Saturday’s college football schedule is short on marquee matchups and high-stakes showdowns. Of course, the Florida teams have important games on Saturday, but outside of the state, only two games are generating national interest. Even casual fans are pointing toward the huge showdown at Clemson between the fifth-ranked Tigers and the third-ranked Louisville Cardinals. This is the ABC prime-time game for good reason. Not that long ago, the winner of the FSU-Clemson game was a virtual lock for representing the…
