Week 12 of college football brought with it plenty of drama in the SEC, with Oklahoma’ upset of Alabama and Georgia’s drubbing of Texas highlighting a loaded slate.
The chase for the dozen bids available in the College Football Playoff is heating up with just two weeks left in the regular season, and the Coaches Poll provided the first glance at what the week’s updated rankings may hold.
The SEC featured 9 programs in this week’s Coaches Poll, with the league claiming five of the top 10 spots in the rankings.
Notably, Georgia vaulted up to the No. 4 spot thanks to its victory and the Crimson Tide’s loss, something Ole Miss also benefited from when rising to No. 6.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma entered the top 10 at No. 8, while Alabama (10) and Texas (18) each took tumbles down the poll.
