Projecting the AP Top 25: Florida, Mississippi State in; Mizzou falls out
Published:
Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky than good.
TCU and Florida sprinkled in a little of both on Saturday to highlight the two wildest games of Week 4.
Facing a 4th-and-Goal at Texas Tech with less than 30 seconds to play, Heisman candidate quarterback Trevone Boykin miraculously found Aaron Green for the touchdown on a tipped pass to stave off the upset and remain inside the Top 5.

The Gators managed an improbable come-from-behind win over Tennessee, Florida’s 11th straight victory over the Vols. Will Grier engineered two touchdown drives in the final five minutes, the game-winner coming a 63-yard pitch and catch to Antonio Callaway on a 4th-and-14 inside the final two minutes.
Tennessee’s 55-yard field goal missed right as time expired, sealing Florida’s 28-27 win. The Gators (4-0) should move into Sunday’s rankings after the impressive victory as well as Mississippi State following its road win at Auburn.
