Gators continue SEC trek

Ralph D. Russo Associated Press

Week 3 of Florida’s grueling march through the Southeastern Conference takes the Gators to Auburn today. Florida replaced the Tigers as No. 2 in the AP Top 25 this week and is the only undefeated team left in the SEC.

Auburn is coming off its first loss of the season, and it was a doozy – 27-10 at home to unranked-at-the-time Arkansas. The Gators have won consecutive conference games at home against Alabama and LSU. They get a week off after this to prepare for Georgia on Oct. 28.
