.RJ Youthful.FOX Sports National University Football Analyst.In the first season of the 16-team SEC, the organization has revealed to be much more complicated than our experts thought it could be. It's not only that Alabama dismayed Georgia back in Full week 5 to accomplish the No. 1 rank. It is actually that Vanderbilt dismayed then-No. 1-ranked Alabama. It's that the second best staff in the SEC-- certainly not the best staff in the Big Ten, Big 12 or even ACC, who all possess unbeaten crews in their games-- acquired the nod as the No. 1 crew in the country.There have actually been actually 3 No. 1 teams in the very first 8 weeks of the period, and they call coming from the exact same event: S-E-C!

There is an argument for Georgia taking back the No. 1 position it pursued start the time, as well as it begins along with the Bulldogs going on the road to safeguard a double-digit victory over the Longhorns.

The 15-point win on the Forty Acres stands up over Oregon's one-point get Ohio State at Autzen, as well as the Bulldogs accomplished the accomplishment with quarterback Carson Beck throwing three interceptions and accomplishing merely 23 of 41 masquerade 175 lawns with no touchdowns.Georgia's win over Texas was a dominant as well as classic Kirby Smart protective performance, where Texas might perform nothing for pair of fourths as well as routed UGA 23-0 at halftime. This while the Dawgs have actually not participated in a complete video game on offense, protection or even exclusive groups this season.But gaining should be actually recognized, and also losing have to be reprimanded. Thus, Oregon is actually the No. 1 staff listed here-- for now. But beware if this Georgia staff locates a method to participate in complete football.Georgia, also at No. 2, experiences unavoidable once again.With that, right here is actually a take a look at my leading 25 ranks adhering to Full week 8 of the university soccer time:1.
