The Florida Gators fell five spots in SB Nation's Top 25 BlogPoll after Saturday's loss to Georgia.

The Gators went from No. 2 to No. 7 because of the loss.

Florida fell to Georgia, 17-9, on Saturday. All the Gators could manage offensively was three field goals. Florida never held a lead. Georgia put the finishing touches on the game when Aaron Murray threw a 45-yard touchdown in the final eight minutes of the game.

Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel completed just 53 percent of his passes and threw two interceptions. Running back Mike Gillislee averaged just 3.5 yards per carry.

Florida State, meanwhile, moved up two spots to No. 9. The Seminoles are coming off a 48-7 win over Duke on Saturday.
