TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida and Miami fell out of the top 10 after Saturday's upset losses.

The Gators dropped from sixth to No. 11 in the latest Associated Poll released Sunday, a day after LSU stunned Florida at home with a 37-34 victory.

LSU's Cade York booted a 57-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining.

The loss effectively ends Florida's hopes for a College Football Playoff berth.

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes plummeted 10 spots from No. 9 to No. 19 after then-No. 20 North Carolina embarrassed Miami 62-26 at Hard Rock Stadium.

UNC's Michael Carter and Javonte Williams set an NCAA record by combining for 544 yards rushing.

The Hurricanes were in position to potentially earn a spot in the Orange Bowl, but that seems less likely now.
