The SEC is not the league it once was.
Hated by everyone else, I mean. Oh, without a doubt, when it comes to those power rankings, the SEC is still on top. Something about The South. Hmmm. I wonder what it could be…
Anyway, on the football field, at least, the SEC just doesn’t seem as powerful as it was once. Perception fits reality in this case, too, as Georgia is a clear cut above in the league and a potential national champion for the third straight year. That alone, of course, makes the league worthy of envy.
It also makes the league take a half-step back. Alabama, at No. 8, is the next highest ranked team. And while Missouri at No. 10 and Ole Miss at No. 12 aren’t far behind, ask the question.
Is anyone truly afraid of the Tigers and Rebels?
Oh, shoot. Rebels. There’s that Southern thing again.
Let’s check out the league’s power rankings as the SEC heads into the final week of its regular season.
