The first Saturday of the college football season is exactly a month away, which means more and more preseason rankings will be released in the coming days.
On Wednesday morning, Fox Sports named its preseason Top 25, with three SEC squads ranked in the top 10.
Six SEC schools made the list in total, including:
- Alabama (No. 1)
- LSU (No. 4)
- Tennessee (No. 9)
- Ole Miss (No. 18)
- Texas A&M (No. 22)
- Florida (No. 24)
Writer Stewart Mandel is high on the Crimson Tide, saying:
Alabama may be my preseason No. 1 every year until Nick Saban leaves or has a down season. The Tide are once again loaded on defense, especially up front with DE Jonathan Allen, DTs Da’Ron Payne, Dalvin Tomlinson and Da’Shawn Hand and LB Tim Williams. This Saban team does not have a proven experienced running back like years past, but Bo Scarborough and/or Damien Harris will carry the torch just fine.
Things are sure to change over the course of the season, but it’s a safe bet that the SEC will remain well represented in most rankings throughout the year.
