The SEC has been the top conference in college football this season, and it still has the most teams ranked in the USA Today coaches poll for Week 9. But where the SEC teams slot in points to how deceptive the conference’s depth is this year.
College Football Rankings: SEC Looks Strong In Week 9 USA Today Poll
Six SEC teams appear in the poll, but after three appeared in the top seven last week, just two appear in the top ten this week. Additionally, six ranked teams only gives the SEC the national lead in that category by one over the Big Ten and Big 12, both of which have five teams in the poll. And the SEC’s lopsided strength continues: five SEC West teams are ranked, but the only SEC East school in the top 25 is South Carolina.
Full SEC rankings are as follows:
- No. 3 Auburn
- No. 6 Alabama
- No. 13 LSU
- No. 17 South Carolina
- No. 18 Arkansas
- No. 23 Mississippi State
