SEC
Where every SEC team is ranked in College Football News's preseason power rankings
As we approach the start of the 2020 season, power rankings of conferences and of FBS squads are starting to come out.
Recently, College Football News released its rankings of all 130 FBS teams, and the SEC fared quite well.
In addition to 4 top-10 teams, the conference had 8 squads in the top 25. Here’s where each of the 14 SEC schools ranked:
- No. 3 — Alabama
- No. 4 — Georgia
- No. 5 — LSU
- No. 7 — Florida
- No. 12 — Auburn
- No. 23 — Texas A&M
- No. 24 — Mississippi State
- No. 25 — Kentucky
- No. 28 — Tennessee
- No. 29 — South Carolina
- No. 45 — Mizzou
- No. 48 — Ole Miss
- No. 63 — Vanderbilt
- No. 68 — Arkansas
Now, we’ll just have to wait for the season to start to see how these rankings change over the course of the fall!
Interesting. MSU and tge crazy pirate getting some love. Isn’t this the first poll to have them in the top 25. I think Vols are a top 25 team but have no problem proving it first.
How on earth is LSU ranked below UGA?
How is Kentucky above Tennessee?
How is South Carolina ranked above Mizzou?
Good questions. Care to offer your analysis?
I mean LSU did just lose a generational qb. As much as UGA lost it wasn’t the same quality of player that LSU lost. On top of that UGA should have one of the best defenses in the country. But ultimately we just have to wait for the season to start to see how accurate the list is.
Mississippi St and SC are both surprises to me as far as how high they are. The Aggies are a little lower than I expected.
If LSU’s players can’t breathe in their newfangled helmets, may as well drop them out of the rankings. You’d think LSU could afford to hire someone who knows how to design a mask for football players.
There has never been a need for a mask football players. If there is a better mask somewhere, I’m sure LSU can afford that. I’m also sure that any mask is going to impair breathing. Your criticism seems quite a bit misguided
One of the better preseason rankings I’ve seen. I’d swap LSU and UF while moving UK ahead of MSU. Aggies should probably be around 15. Still, this is the best one to date.
It’s like the person doing the ranking didn’t watch any of the 2019 season.
What does 2019 have to do with 2020?
Mizzou at 45 seems pretty generous to me.
I’d flip UF and LSU. I still think that leaves LSU getting from benefit from last year’s ridiculously good team. I’d put UT ahead of at least UK, maybe even MSU. Overall, I think it’s a good ranking
