Well, lookie there.
The SEC showed itself as well as could be expected in college football’s opening week. The league was almost perfect against its competition. Except LSU. Even Vanderbilt picked up a victory.
Alabama and Georgia looked like the two best teams in the country. Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida and Texas A&M could be in the conversation for a Top-10 spot. Even the mid-tier and bottom-tier teams – the Commodores notwithstanding – look like players. The league feels like a 13-bid league when bowl season rolls around.
With everyone winning, not much changed in the power rankings. Only Florida moved up a spot by virtue of its win over then Top-10 Utah. The question is who would drop to make room.
Take a look at the SEC Power Rankings heading into Week 2, when we’ll get some conference games to get things really moving.
