SEC Network’s quartet of top college football analysts revealed who they think are the elite and who they think fall way short of that status in their updated SEC power rankings on Friday afternoon ahead of Week 11.
In a somewhat ironic twist, despite there being so much football already under our belt this fall, all 4 of the analysts ended up choosing the exact same top 4 in their SEC pecking order. That’s right — Chris Doering, Benjamin Watson, Dari Nowkhah and Alyssa Lang all hit the same note in proclaiming who the 4 best teams in the SEC are as we hit the 2nd Saturday of November.
For all 4, it was Texas A&M that qualified as No. 1, at least right now. The Aggies are ranked 3rd and are still undefeated as they head to Columbia on Saturday for a tough matchup against No. 22 Mizzou.
The 4 analysts all made Alabama their No. 2 team in the SEC, which stands to reason since the Crimson Tide are ranked right behind the Aggies at No. 4.
Right behind Bama in those first College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night was Georgia at No. 5, and all 4 SEC analysts accordingly put the Bulldogs right behind Alabama in their power rankings at No. 3.
And right on cue, all 4 SEC Network analysts put Ole Miss as their No. 4 team in the power rankings, which went to form again because the Rebels were ranked right behind Georgia at No. 6 in those initial CFP rankings.
Here are the complete SEC power rankings from 1 to 16 for all 4 analysts:
