Dr. Saturday has 5 SEC teams in early 2017 top-25 rankings
There are still 100 days to go before most SEC teams kick off their 2017 campaigns, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early for some projections.
On Thursday, Yahoo! Sports columnist Dr. Saturday released his early 2017 rankings, and five SEC teams made the cut (see the entire top-25 list here):
- Alabama — No. 1
- LSU — No. 10
- Auburn — No. 11
- Georgia — No. 16
- Florida — No. 17
There weren’t any real surprises on the list, as Alabama is widely seen as the best team heading into this fall.
Obviously, in the grueling SEC West, all three teams from that division will have to fight to keep their rankings that high as the season wears on.
A lot can change in the coming weeks, as summer practices haven’t even started yet, but it’s safe to say that several SEC teams will find themselves in the top 25 when the season finally begins.
