Georgia’s destruction of Florida, by a combined score of 40-13, was the most significant result of the weekend. The Bulldogs jumped from No. 8 to No. 3, while Florida plummeted 13 spots to No. 20. There was some thought to removing the Gators, 0-6 in the SEC, from the rankings, but those six losses have come against two top-five teams — Tennesee and Georgia. Also, Florida was without two starting pitchers in the series against Georgia. The Gators are still ranked … for now.

Elsewhere, Stanford dropped from No. 10 to No. 22 after getting swept at home by rival Cal.
Two teams dropped out of the rankings — Virginia (No. 20) and UCSB (No. 25) — and were replaced by two former Pac-12 programs that are off to nice starts in their new leagues. Arizona has won 18 of its last 20 games and is tied for first in the Big 12. UCLA is 7-2 in the Big Ten after taking two of three from Indiana in Los Angeles during the weekend.
