Florida has jumped into The Associated Press women’s basketball poll at No. 19. The Gators have beaten four ranked teams in their past five games, losing only to top-ranked South Carolina. Florida is ranked for the first time since 2016. South Carolina remains the No. 1 team in the poll this week and was a unanimous choice from the 30-member national media panel. The Gamecocks are followed by Stanford, Louisville, Michigan and North Carolina State. Michigan’s No. 4 ranking is the best in school history.
