Week 1 SEC Power Rankings

What do you think about these power rankings?

What a wild week to start off college football.

Four FBS teams lost to FCS schools. There were seven top-25 teams that lost, including four in the top 15. The ACC and the Pac 12 combined to go 13-13 over the weekend. The Big 12 went 9-1 in the ugliest way possible. Big Ten football looked like, well, Big Ten football. Then there was the SEC going 12-2 and looking the most complete out of every conference. Per usual.

It wasn’t the most impressive showing, by no means. The SEC West has some serious figuring out to do. However, the product that the SEC put on the field (with the exception of LSU and Vanderbilt) was better coached and better prepared than the majority of college football.

Here are my SEC power rankings after week one. Keep in mind this is not ranking the teams from best to worst, this is ranking essentially how each team’s performance looked.

Betting Lines: Odds for SEC football games in week one

Looking at the betting odds for each game in the SEC during week one.

We have officially hit game week in the SEC. It all begins with the Tennessee Vols and Bowling Green on SEC Network come Thursday. One of the new head coaches debuting with his new team. Following the firing of Jeremy Pruitt, the Vols turned to former Missouri offensive coordinator Josh Heupel. The former Sooners quarterback gets his first shot as a Power Five head coach.

On Saturday 12 more games will be played with SEC teams. It begins with ULM taking on Kentucky at 11 am CST on the SEC Network. The final game of the day has the LSU Tigers traveling to the Rose Bowl to play UCLA at 7:30 pm CST on Fox. The only games with both teams ranked will be played on neutral sites. Alabama takes on Miami in Atlanta, Georgia, while Georgia and Clemson face off in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The final game takes place on Monday with Louisville traveling to Oxford to take on Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss. LSU will be the only team playing a true road game in the conference. Looking at the odds for each matchup, South Carolina’s game with Eastern Illinois and Vanderbilt’s game against East Tennessee State do not have betting odds.
