Lake Marion made the biggest jump in the national rankings this week, rising to 7,762 from 7,974. They were able to move up in the ranks after a 45-21 victory over the Gators last week.

On the ground Wright chipped in 136 yards. Jaleel Filmore helped Andrews' passing attack out by catching three balls for three yards.
