College football fans are always eager to learn how coaches and media members rank the top 25 teams. Out in Las Vegas, oddsmakers have power rankings for all 133 FBS teams.

Phil Steele, widely recognized as one of college football’s leading experts, has connections to the smartest folks in the desert. Steele has published weekly in-season Vegas Power Ratings since his time at ESPN. He’s now independent but continues to publish the Vegas numbers in weekly updates on his website during the season.

Like the AP Top 25 and the Coaches Poll, Georgia is on top in Steele’s Vegas Power Rankings with the top rating. Alabama continues to move up, slotting in at No. 10 ahead of Week 6.

Steele notes that the difference in 2 teams’ Vegas Ratings gives an idea of what the opening betting line would be if they met on a neutral field. In the case of Georgia and Alabama, UGA would be favored by about 5.5 points.

Steele reminds fans that the Vegas numbers do not always reflect prior on-field outcomes. He gave examples familiar to SEC fans:

Tennessee lost at Florida in the Swamp but if the two teams played again this week at a neutral site Tennessee would be favored by 9 and Tennessee is ranked higher. Arkansas lost to BYU at home in a game Arkansas had a 424-281-yard edge. If the two matched up again Arkansas would be favored at home by close to 10 points.

Here’s where all 14 SEC teams stand in the latest Vegas Power Rankings:

  • No. 1 Georgia (134.06 Vegas Rating)
  • No. 10 Alabama (128.48)
  • No. 13 LSU (126.74)
