Vegas Power Rankings for every SEC team entering Week 7
College football rankings keep the conversation going between games. On Sundays, the Coaches Poll and AP Poll offer a look into the top 25 teams. Later this season, the College Football Playoff selection committee will get in on the action.
Out in Las Vegas, rankings are done a bit differently. Oddsmakers have power rankings for all 134 FBS teams. While coaches, media members and the CFP committee consider resumes and head-to-head outcomes, the smartest folks are only concerned with money. Vegas rankings are based on which teams would be favored on a neutral field.

The difference between Choking Georgia, Pac 12 Alabama and Tennessee is negligible on this list. However the recruiting disparity is astronomical. What will happen when Heupel closes the recruiting gap? Are you smarter than a 5th grader?
Fat Phil,Jr will never close the gap even with Haslem’s cash. LMAO
That dude is a f*cking idiot. Don’t even waste your clicks.
