Coaches Poll Rivalry Week: SEC lands 6 teams in latest top 25
The latest Coaches Poll is out and the SEC has 6 teams in the top 25. Last week’s poll also included 6 teams from the conference.
When it comes to rankings, all eyes are on the College Football Playoff race. The CFP selection committee releases its next rankings on Tuesday. College football’s coaches weighed in on the top teams Sunday.
For Week 12, Georgia was the consensus No. 1 in the major polls (CFP, Coaches and AP). The Coaches are sticking with the Dawgs in the top spot after a blowout win at Tennessee.
UGA is 1 of 5 undefeated Power 5 teams looking to make the CFP. Michigan, Ohio State, Florida State and Washington all stayed on track in Week 12 to advance to 11-0. Washington won as a road underdog against a ranked Oregon State team and FSU lost star QB Jordan Travis for the rest of the season due to injury.
