As has become custom, LSU and Alabama lead the SEC in the Week 8 AP Poll and the Week 8 USA Today coaches poll.
College Football Rankings: SEC Led By LSU And Alabama In Week 8 Polls, BCS Standings Next?
LSU is No. 1 in the AP Poll and No. 2 in the coaches poll. Alabama is No. 2 in the AP Poll and No. 3 in the coaches poll. And the Tigers and Tide could be 1-2 in the BCS standings, too: ESPN’s Brad Edwards is projecting that LSU and Alabama will top the initial BCS rankings of 2011, in that order.
Not much has changed, though; the winner of November’s showdown between the two teams in Tuscaloosa should still be all but a shoo-in to win the SEC and earn a chance to represent the conference in the BCS National Championship game.
Other ranked SEC teams include Arkansas (No. 10 AP/No. 10 coaches), idle in Week 7; South Carolina (No. 12 coaches/No. 14 AP), which beat Mississippi State but lost Marcus Lattimore for the season; Auburn (No. 19 AP/ No. 23 coaches), which topped Florida; and Georgia (No. 24 AP), which re-enters the rankings after a number of other teams fell out.
