Florida fans didn’t see the performance they were hoping to get with rival Florida State coming to The Swamp this Saturday.

Apparently, the pollsters also didn’t like what they saw.

The Gators (10-1) fell two spots in the latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll released on Sunday, while falling one spot in the Coaches Poll after their shaky 20-14 overtime win over Florida Atlantic on Saturday.

Florida’s defense batted down a pass in the end zone on fourth-and-goal to preserve the win and keep the team’s hopes alive of making the College Football Playoff.

The Gators will host the rival Seminoles this week before playing in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 5.
