Florida baseball inches back upward in latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll
Kevin O’Sullivan’s Florida baseball squad bounced back from a road sweep at the hands of the South Carolina Gamecocks last weekend with a home sweep of the Missouri Tigers — with a midweek win over the North Florida Ospreys sandwiched in between. Thanks to the recent four-game winning streak, the Gators saw a modest improvement in their recent standings.
The latest update of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll for Week 10 saw the Orange and Blue rise from fourth to third — where they had plateaued prior to the ‘Cocks sweep — with a 35-10 overall record and 675 points in the poll. The lowest Florida has been listed this season so far is No. 6, which came in Week 2 after starting in the preseason poll at No. 5.
UF is joined by fellow Southeastern Conference schools LSU (No. 1), South Carolina (No. 4), Vanderbilt (No. 5) and Arkansas (No. 6) in this week’s top 25.
