ESPN's post-Week 4 power rankings suggests SEC is insanely top heavy
The 2020 season has been full of crazy upsets, intriguing matchups and surprising contenders.
But, in the SEC, playing a 10-game, conference-only schedule has led to teams beating up on each other, which doesn’t lend itself well to top-25 power rankings.
Indeed, when ESPN’s Chris Low updated his power rankings after SEC Week 4 action, only 4 SEC squads made the cut, led by Alabama at No. 1:
- No. 1 — Alabama
- No. 4 — Georgia
- No. 12 — Texas A&M
- No. 14 — Florida
We’re not used to seeing so few SEC teams in the top 25, but with Auburn at 2-2 (and a controversial call away from 1-3), LSU imploding, Tennessee losing to Kentucky and Mississippi State collapsing after a fast start, there just aren’t that many top-25 worthy teams in the league this year.
We’ll see if something changes after Week 5 action.
Seems like the majority of the SEC is 2-2 right now. Hard to get ranked that way. This all-SEC schedule will be a new kind of brutal when all is said and done.
The B1G starts this coming weekend. Should be interesting to see how they fare.
Its hard to believe, but as bad as Arkansas was under the fake coach Morris the last two years…if this had been a normal season, Arkansas might be a six win, bowl eligible team. And I’m not so sure that it would have been a sure win for ND.
Arky’s going bowling this year. I just feel it.
After this year’s war of attrition the 9 sec schedule will never be brought up again.
