By most rankings, Alabama is the No. 1 team in the country, but the folks in Las Vegas do things a little differently.
On Wednesday, The Action Network released its first College Football Betting Power Ratings, and the rankings look much different than the AP Poll.
As you can see below, Alabama checks in as the No. 3 team (behind Clemson and Ohio State), followed immediately by Auburn. Below, see where each of the 14 SEC teams ranks in Vegas’s eyes:
- No. 3 — Alabama
- No. 4 — Auburn
- No. 8 — Georgia
- No. 11 — Mississippi State
- No. 22 — Florida
- No. 23 — Missouri
- No. 27 — Texas A&M
- No. 35 — LSU
- No. 39 — Ole Miss
- No. 50 — Arkansas
- No. 61 — South Carolina
- No. 66 — Kentucky
- No. 76 — Tennessee
- No. 78 — Vanderbilt
Obviously, these ratings are used mostly for betting purposes, and don’t necessarily indicate any on-field performance.
Still, it’s an interesting look at how Vegas operates and what they think of each team.
