ESPN updates way-too-early CFB rankings: How does the SEC stack up?

Movement at the top ESPN’s in updated way-too-early college football rankings ahead of spring practice. The SEC has 10 teams in ESPN’s top 25

ESPN has updated its way-too-early college football rankings for the 2024 season. Since ESPN released its initial rankings, Nick Saban retired, Washington lost its head coach and much of its roster, and numerous Alabama players transferred.

Not too much has changed for the Georgia Bulldogs over the past several weeks. Georgia has the nation’s No. 13 incoming transfer portal class, the country’s No. 1 incoming recruiting class, and returns numerous experienced players from last season’s team.

Overall, the SEC has 10 teams in ESPN’s updated way-too-early college football rankings. Spring practice is coming up soon. The transfer portal will open again in April after spring football games, so there will still be a few twists and turns before the college football season gets started in August.

Pollack announced his final rankings before the selection committee determined who would be in the College Football Playoff. The Power Five conference champions are Alabama, Washington, Michigan, Texas and Florida State. Georgia fell, 27-24, to Alabama in the SEC championship game. Washington beat Oregon. Texas dominated Oklahoma State, and Michigan shut down Iowa in their respective conference title games.

Georgia football drops in US LBM Coaches Poll ahead of bowl season

UGA falls is the US LBM Coaches Poll after SEC championship loss. College football coaches disagree with the biased selection committee

The College Football Playoff would have had a major problem if teams were selected based on the US LBM Coaches Poll.

Why?

There are two teams tied for the No. 4 spot!

The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs fell to the No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC championship. Florida State, Michigan and Washington all won their respective conference championship games and finished the season undefeated. Texas dominated Oklahoma State in an impressive performance in the Big 12 championship game. Georgia had its lengthy streak of being ranked No. 1 in the US LBM Coaches Poll snapped.

Former ESPN college football analyst Daivd Pollack ranks his top six college football teams ahead of the conference championship games

For Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Florida State, the deal is simple: Win and they’re in. If Oregon wins, the Ducks will probably make the College Football Playoff, but nothing is guaranteed.

Rece Davis ranks his top 8 college football teams ahead of Week 12

ESPN college football analyst Rece Davis ranks the elite teams of college football

ESPN college football analyst Rece Davis ranks his top college football teams ahead of Week 12. Davis is a key figure on ESPN’s “College GameDay” and is a voter in the AP Poll.

The undefeated Power Five teams across the country continue to win. Washington, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and Florida State won in Week 11.

Week 12’s college football schedule does not pack as much of a punch as the average week of the regular season. Numerous top teams like Alabama, Florida State, and Ole Miss are playing against non-Power Five opponents before the final week of the regular season. At least Week 12 has a few interesting games such as Washington-Oregon State and Georgia-Tennessee.

David Pollack ranks college football’s top six teams

Former Georgia Bulldogs defensive end David Pollack disagrees with the initial College Football Playoff rankings

Former Georgia Bulldog legend David Pollack is not working with ESPN’s “College GameDay” this year. A great many Georgia fans aren’t happy about it. Georgia fans and college football fans miss Pollack’s valuable insights and ability to analyze the games without giving a bunch of hot takes.

Fortunately, Pollack is still dishing out valuable takes on college football. The former Georgia defensive end named his top six college football teams ahead of Week 10.

Pollack disagrees with the initial College Football Playoff rankings, which has the Ohio State Buckeyes as the No. 1 team in the country. Pollack announced his rankings before Week 10, which features several interesting matchups including LSU at Alabama, Washington at USC, Kansas State at Texas, and Texas A&M at Ole Miss.

How would the BCS rank Georgia football ahead of the Florida game?

The Georgia Bulldogs would be the No. 3 team if college football still used the BCS rankings

The Georgia Bulldogs would not be the nation’s No. 1 team if we still used the Bowl Championship Series rankings. The BCS would rank Georgia No. 3 behind No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 Ohio State.

The BCS rankings went away following the 2013 college football season. Now, we use the College Football Playoff committee to determine the nation’s top four teams. The first edition of College Football Playoff rankings will come shortly after the Georgia-Florida game.

A full top 10 of BCS rankings looks like this:

1. Michigan

2. Ohio State

3. Georgia

4. Florida State

5. Oklahoma

6. Washington

7. Alabama

8. Texas

9. Penn State

10. Oregon

We have to strongly disagree with Alabama being ranked over Texas as the two teams met on the field and have the same number of losses. That’s a mistake that the College Football Playoff rankings does not tend to make.

Here’s what the entire top 25 BCS rankings look like:

Georgia has a long season ahead with remaining games against Florida, Missouri, Ole Miss, at Tennessee and at Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs would not have won the 2021 national championship if we were in the BCS era (Georgia was ranked No. 3 entering the College Football Playoff).

Kirk Herbstreit ranks his top CFB teams ahead of Week 7

Two of Kirk Herbstreit’s top six teams play against each other this week. Where does Herbstreit rank Georgia?

ESPN “College GameDay” college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit has ranked his top college football teams after Week 6 of the 2023 college football season. Week 6 featured Georgia dominating Kentucky, USC surviving in overtime against Arizona, and Oklahoma knocking off Texas in a thrilling win.

Interestingly, Herbstreit does not have Oklahoma in his top six after the Sooners won against Texas, his previous No. 2 team.

Week 7’s schedule features a clash of two of Herbstreit’s top teams: Washington plays Oregon in a Pac-12 showdown. The Huskies and Ducks are both undefeated.

Week 6’s schedule is pretty good. Three of Kirk Herbstreit’s top six teams face undefeated opponents this week. The top game of Week 6 has to be the Texas-Oklahoma game, which features two 5-0 teams fighting for Big 12 supremacy.
