Florida baseball completed an undefeated Week 6 on Sunday with a three-game weekend sweep of the Ole Miss Rebels on the road, which followed a single-game midweek matchup in Tallahassee that the Gators emerged victoriously on Tuesday. With the season record now 22-4 with a 5-1 mark in Southeastern Conference play, the Orange and Blue have earned their No. 3 ranking in the latest USA TODAY Coaches Poll — the same ranking it held last week.
The Gators are joined by fellow Southeastern Conference schools LSU (No. 1), Vanderbilt (No. 4), Arkansas (No. 6), South Carolina (No. 8), Tennessee (No. 9), Kentucky (No. 17) and Ole Miss (No. 25), which is three fewer than last week as a trio of SEC teams fell out of the top 25.
