AP Top 25: 5 SEC teams crack Week 3 poll after another rough week for the SEC

The Week 3 AP Top 25 poll is here and 5 SEC teams remain in the top 25 after 2 weeks of CFB action.

5 SEC programs – Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Ole Miss and LSU – are currently ranked within the top 25. 3 more – Texas A&M, Mississippi State and Kentucky – also received votes.

Truth be told, the SEC is not inspiring much confidence this year thus far. Alabama fell to Texas while Texas A&M dropped a rough one to Miami, kicking them out of the top 25 entirely.

Alabama falls from No. 3 to No. 10 and Tennessee, after being No. 9 last week, fell out of the top 10 to No. 11 following a rough performance vs. Austin Peay. Georgia remains at the top of the pack and LSU stayed put at No. 14. Ole Miss had the biggest rise in the SEC, moving up from No. 20 to No. 17.
