Florida features at No. 10 in initial College Football Playoff Ranking

Published Nov. 3, 2015 7:31 p.m. ET

The initial College Football Playoff Ranking was released Tuesday night, with the Florida Gators sitting at the No. 10 spot. 

It's a marked difference for the Gators -- who finished last year with a 7-5 overall record. Currently at 7-1, it has a great chance to climb up the rankings before a possible SEC Conference Title Game. The remaining competition on their schedule includes lowly Vanderbilt, two struggling programs in FAU and South Carolina, and a regular season-ending contest against in-state rival Florida State.

Conventional wisdom suggests Florida having no issues with the next three games. While FSU will likely provide a stiff test, this clash also provides Florida with yet another opportunity for a marquee win. If it can win out in the regular season, there's no telling how high McElwain's team will be ranked.
