AP Poll Week 11: 5 SEC teams included in top 25 rankings
The AP Poll has been released after a busy Week 10 around the country. The week saw top teams like Clemson, Tennessee and Alabama lose.
Meanwhile, Georgia kept its stranglehold on the No. 1 spot, with Ohio State checking in at No. 2 again following an ugly win at Northwestern.
The rest of the top 5 was rounded out by Michigan, TCU and Tennessee.
A total of 5 SEC teams — No. 1 Georgia, No. 5 Tennessee, No. 7 LSU, No. 10 Alabama and No. 11 Ole Miss — cracked the top 25.
Kentucky, Mississippi State and South Carolina are among the teams also receiving votes.

At #6, #8, and #9 it seems like there’s a move afoot to position the P12 champion for a playoff spot.
Given Oregon’s performance against Georgia, I’m not sure I buy it.
Conversely, I like TCU’s ranking because Power 5 undefeated matters.
Why? We *know* who Oregon’s definitely not better than. With TCU we still have to find out.
It will be interesting to see what the CFP’s ranking will be.
Agreed.
Not sure why Oregon’s inability to stay close to or beat the #1 ranked team somehow means they could not still be one of the 4 best teams in the country.
Would Oregon beat Ohio State? Michigan? TCU? Tennessee?
Seems like we don’t know a lot more than we do.
The PAC doesn’t play much decent OOC competition and they don’t win any when they do. Maybe they should actually beat somebody before they get gifted a spot in the playoffs.
Well, we know they are more deserving than the ACC, at least.
It could all work itself out so that we have a clear top 4. Or it could be utter chaos.
What have you done for me lately? Oregon lost way back in week 1. The narrative is they have gotten better. Tennessee lost yesterday. Additionally the Ducks get to play for a conference championship. Vols are on the outside looking in. Have fun at the Outback Bowl
But the narrative is based on playing who?
And how does that apply to USC and UCLA?
I’m bigger on results than narratives.
At the end of the day if you both have one loss to Georgia but Oregon wins the PAC 12, you are out. You got exposed
Be nice buddy, and show some humility
At the end of the day, your wins are more important than who you lost to. And Tennessee will still have wins over Alabama and LSU. Oregon won’t have wins over anyone in the top 10.
A win over Alabama ain’t what it used to be. Oregon would have USC in that scenario. And if the teams are close and like it or not, they are conference championships are a factor. The Vols won’t have one. How many PAC 12 teams are ranked now by the way?
When was the last time the PAC12 had 4 teams ranked?
Last week
and btw this week there is 5 pac-12 teams ranked
Clemson bias still strong, I see
Where would you put em? As long as they are out of the top10 that’s all that matters to me.
No higher than 18
Below the NC State team that they beat? Below Tulane? UCLA? North Carolina? Utah? Yeah, you are not just another bitter SEC fan upset that Clemson has had more success than Alabama than your team has. Still salty over not being able to cross the 50 yard line in the 2012 title game, eh? Don’t hate Clemson for being better at QB recruiting and development than your program, whose only good QB since Rohan Davey came in the transfer portal.
Still salty LSU proved the fraud that was Clemson in 2019? You do know that our best QB, Joe Burrow, spanked Clemson, right? Lol you’re delusional.
iTS SO WEIRD SEEING BAMA AT 10. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THEY WERE THAT LOW?
It is exciting to see Tulane in the rankings.
FSU GONNA WHIP THE GATORS!!!
THE GATORS ARE PROBABLY ALMOST IN THE “OTHERS RECEIVING VOTES” RANKINGS BUT NOT QUITE THERE YET!!!
