Coaches' poll released: Gators to start season at No.5; Rival Dawgs are No.1

GAINESVILLE -- The coaches' poll came out this morning. The Gators are ranked No.5. (For a link to my story in The Herald CLICK ME!)

If you're counting, that's four spots behind Georgia, the No.1 team in the land. This is the first time Georgia has ever started the season No.1 in the coaches' poll.

Three teams from the Southeastern Conference are ranked in the coaches' preseason top 10: Georgia (1), Florida (5) and LSU (6), the defending national champs. Auburn is ranked 11th. Tennessee is ranked 18th. South Florida is ranked 21st.
