Just about at the midway point of the season here and some things are clearer than others when it comes to the Top 25 Florida football rankings.
We've seen some surprising results across the board and to take any given week for granted would be a mistake. Any one of these teams in our 25 can beat the other seemingly and this week provides a great glimpse as there's many that will be facing one another.
