Florida's road to 7-0 hasn't been easy, and that's earned the Gators a lot of love in the BlogPoll.

Total Ballots: 79 | Votes by team | Ballots by voter

I'm going to write a bit more about this on Wednesday, but I actually think Florida's underrated in the BlogPoll this week — I have us No. 1, but I'm surprised that there are only ("only) 15 other votes of 79 that agree.

In lieu of more substantive analysis for now, here's the list of the 15 other voters who put Florida No. 1:

  • SEC blog Team Speed Kills
  • Indiana blog The Crimson Quarry
  • Notre Dame blog One Foot Down
  • Washington State blog CougCenter
  • Virginia blog From Old Virginia
  • Oklahoma blog Blatant Homerism
