Class rankings, power rankings, the preseason Top 25, and SEC standings — updated through the year.
Ratings are the composite star rating each player carried at signing (247Sports/Rivals/On3 consensus), not an in-season performance grade. Sourced from team and recruiting outlets.
The Gator Trail's own preseason power rankings — our take, not a wire-service poll. Updated weekly during the season.
2026 Preseason Coaches Poll (USA Today / US LBM Coaches Poll), released ahead of the Aug. 27 kickoff.
Preseason predicted order of finish (247Sports SEC media poll) — every team is 0-0 until kickoff on Sep 5, 2026. SEC title odds are preseason market consensus (American odds) as of Aug 2026 where a book had posted a specific number; "Longshot" means the market hadn't broken one out yet. Both update through the season.
