Kentucky has two tough road games and Florida at home plus Louisville so they can drop as Kentucky usually does. All this depends on Iowa being 10-2 at the worst which they can do with a lot of great play and good bounces. Indiana has one of the best FG kickers but it didnt work yesterday, stuff happens.Right now Iowa is on the outside looking in.

Today proves that the SEC deserves at least 6 teams in the 2026 CFP

- Start date
Last week #6 Alabama lost at home to #2 Georgia by three points and AP kept Bama at #6 the following week.
This week #5 Indiana lost at home to #4 Ohio St. by four points.
Do we think AP will keep Indiana at #5?

I know us B1G fans don't like to admin it, but the SEC is loaded outside of Arkansas and Vanderbilt.
Iowa might not be favored over any of themAlabama
Tennessee
Georgia
Ole Miss
Florida
Texas
Auburn
LSU
Who do you leave out?
This year I'd have to agree and it's as much the Big10 being down as the SEC having a lot more depth. We can argue til we're blue in the face but the Big10 has a lot of bad and mediocre teams this year.
They would NOT be favored over any of these teams on a neutral field except perhaps Auburn and you might even throw Kentucky in the mix while you're at it.

So tell us. Aside from Auburn, who would Iowa be favored over today on a neutral field. Sagarin says none of them. Are they a shill for ESPN too?
If only the SEC were as good in actual games as they are in hypothetical games that will never be played.
So is your opinion but I still asked for it.
Bama and LSU playing in two weeks. Basically an elimination game. Tennessee and Kentucky in two weeks as well. Lots of moving parts in the SEC coming up. Just keep winning Hawks.
Lol, no. That's what ESPN wants us to think. That mythical middle tier is not any better than the B1G's middle tier. And our top is better than theirs.
Here's a really tough question. What is the only conference that has teams with two losses [5] in the AP top 25?
LSU just on general Lane Kiffin principles!Alabama
Tennessee
Georgia
Ole Miss
Florida
Texas
Auburn
LSU

They prob would have stayed put if BYU didn’t jump everyone with their big win.
Which is a little weird. BYU wins in the last second at home against #2 team and jumps 6 spots. Ohio St. wins on the road in the last second against #5 team and moves up 1. Miami needed double OT to beat an unranked FSU at home and they moved up more spots than OSU did for beating the #5 team on the road.

I get it but at the same time Ohio St.'s strength of schedule per Sagarin is way higher than Miami's and a good bit higher than BYU's. They've only played 2 top-30 teams between the two of them, Ohio St. has played 3.
