Here’s where Florida football lands in AP Poll all-time top 25
The last two years have not been kind to Florida football fans as the program dipped below the .500 mark in two consecutive seasons for the first time since the 1978 and 1979 seasons — the latter of which saw the team sink to a record-low 0-10-1 record.
While the program’s glory has faded since Urban Meyer’s departure, the Orange and Blue continue to be a proud institution on the college gridiron. In fact, the Gators are among the top 25 schools of all time according to the Associated Press Poll’s historical records. Plenty of Florida’s peers also appear in the rankings.
Below are the complete all-time rankings of the AP Poll dating back to 1936. You will see where the Gators currently rank among the top programs in history. courtesy of College Football News.
