By now, we know which teams in the country are elite, and which don’t have what it takes to challenge for a College Football Playoff spot.
Following Week 5 of the season, ESPN updated its FPI rankings, and seven SEC teams cracked the top 25.
As you can see below, Alabama led the way at No. 1 (no surprise there), followed by six other teams from the conference:
- No. 1 — Alabama
- No. 3 — Georgia
- No. 11 — LSU
- No. 12 — Auburn
- No. 13 — Florida
- No. 18 — Mississippi State
- No. 19 — Texas A&M
That’s right — 3-2 teams like Mississippi State and Texas A&M are in the top 25, but 5-0 Kentucky is nowhere to be seen.
The Wildcats even have a win over MSU on their resume, and still can’t get any love from the ESPN rankings.
