Maybe we should research teams before we rank them.  Southridge went 2-8. They clearly shouldn’t have been ranked top 25 to begin the year.

Every team bolded on the list may still have a case for top 50 in FL except one which badbird mentioned above

 

Without a doubt Southridge was biggest disappointment in the poll

Didn't one preseason poll have Gainesville ranked in it?

If they played Columbia good chance but even I think he thought they were going to suck this year and listed them as honorable mention
