How will USC fare in its final four games of the season (vs. Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida, Clemson)?
NEW YORK | Flip-flop.
Florida regained the top spot Sunday in The Associated Press poll from Alabama, which was ranked No. 1 for a week ahead of the Gators.
South Carolina moved up two spots to No. 21 after defeating Vanderbilt 14-10. The Gamecocks are also 21st in the USA Today/Coaches Poll.
The Crimson Tide needed a blocked field goal on the last play to beat Tennessee 12-10 on Saturday, while Florida pulled away from Mississippi State in the fourth quarter for a 29-19 victory. The Gators received 30 first-place votes to Alabama's 23.
No. 3 Texas got seven first-place votes.
The last time two teams flip-flopped in the top two spots of the AP Top 25 from one week to the next was 1992, when Miami and Washington did it.
