Sec has 10 teams in the top 25.

Thoughts?... Why?.

There sham is so obvious...their so hurt that they haven't had a chip in two years. Uga is top 10. Why?.

This preseason poll **** is a scam. Load up the sec teams with high rankings so when they lose they never fall much in the polls.

UGA top 10 is a joke, they have a good running game and thats it, their defense is serviceable

not sure why missouri is in there, haven't really proved anything

A&M deserves it with their big win against ASU

the SEC love is way too much
 
There should be no polls until week 5 at the minimum.

It's lame how much weight the pre-season polls have especially now with the playoff selections.

That being said. Butch Davis.
 
Records vs. Power 5 opponents after week 1:


SEC 4-0
Pac-12 2-2
Big 12 1-1
Big Ten 1-4
ACC 0-3


Its pretty ******* simple, if people don't like seeing so many SEC teams in the top 25 then beat them when you get a chance.

SEC makes the most money for ESPN and radio stations. ESPN and radio, accordingly, will pander to the SEC fanbase. When you have announcers constantly talking about "he's an SEC type player" even when the game isn't an SEC game you know what the scam is.

I been saying this for years. They constantly overrank SEC teams and losses are not as big while wins are qualified as a bigger win because it was SEC. It's become a joke. Perfect example was the year LSU and Alabama played for the title. Should have never happened. I think Ok St would have gave either of them a real challenge that year, but either way, Bama had their shot against LSU in the regular season and didn't get it done.

They played 1 top 50 team and won. And that team was overrated that got beat.
 
Out of the 10 SEC teams, only one of them plays an OOC Power 5 opponent on the road. But go ahead and keep defending the SEC bias.
 
Miss State and Tennessee will probably fall out the top 25 after this weekend, not sure how Florida is ranked 35th
 
Hey, look at all these excuses about why them doing what they need to do (winning when they play other conferences) should be marginalized.

There were 4 opportunities for the other power 5 conferences to make the SEC look over rated and all 4 of them failed.

College football is being ruined by the sec contract with ESPN. so much BS is forcefed to america on the network that kids are now all flooding the SEC on signing day. the fact that a major supposedly non biased news network can exclusively sign with SEC baffles me

Right, because four teams winning in week one is a lot more important than the SEC getting completely embarrassed in the 2014 bowl season. No, really, you nailed it. Those September 6th games tell everything.

Completely embarassed?

Pac 12 6-2
sec 7-5
big ten 5-5
ACC 4-7
big 12 2-5


7-5 is a lot better than 4-7

Proximity of school to talent (SE) + embarrassing academic admission standards + huge alumni base with deep pockets = winning football programs.
 
Is this the same $EC that got the **** kicked out of them in the bowls last year.........hmmmmmmmm
 
As I said ... Richt is a top 10 HC in the college game.

He'd have more on his resume if not for coaching against Saban and Meyer for most of his career.

He'd be the best coach in the ACC ...

You do realize you can't base rankings off how good teams were in bowl games in the previous year right? That's irrelevant right now.
