Where every SEC team ranks in ESPN’s updated Football Power Index

The SEC’s top teams are separating themselves from the rest of the pack in most polls, but ESPN’s Football Power Index is a little higher on the conference than most.

The SEC has eight teams in the top 35 of the post-Week 6 FPI poll, with Alabama checking in at the No. 1 spot.

As you can see below, ESPN ranks Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, Mississippi State, LSU, Florida, Texas A&M and South Carolina among the nation’s 35-best teams (the whole list can be found here):

• No. 1 — Alabama
• No. 7 — Georgia
• No. 9 — Auburn
• No. 20 — Mississippi State
• No. 29 — LSU
• No. 30 — Florida
• No. 34 — Texas A&M
• No. 35 — South Carolina
• No. 51 — Tennessee
• No. 52 — Kentucky
• No. 59 — Arkansas
• No. 68 — Vanderbilt
• No. 71 — Ole Miss
• No. 80 — Mizzou

Mizzou nearly pulled off the upset at Kentucky on Saturday night, but the Tigers still aren’t getting much respect in the polls. That’s what a 1-4 record will do, though.

Meanwhile, Georgia at No. 7 is a lot lower than most other polls, but the Bulldogs are still recognized as an elite team.
