.RJ Youthful.FOX Athletics National University Soccer Expert.In the first time of the 16-team SEC, the game has actually shown to become a lot more hard than our team thought it could be. It's not merely that Alabama distressed Georgia back in Week 5 to accomplish the No. 1 ranking. It's that Vanderbilt dismayed then-No. 1-ranked Alabama. It's that the next best team in the SEC-- not the most ideal staff in the Big 10, Big 12 or even ACC, that all possess undefeated groups in their games-- received approval as the No. 1 crew in the country.There have been 3 No. 1 groups in the 1st 8 full weeks of the period, and they all hail coming from the same event: S-E-C!

There is actually a debate for Georgia taking back the No. 1 rank it held to start the season, and also it begins along with the Bulldogs going on the street to secure a double-digit success over the Longhorns.

This while the Dawgs have actually not participated in a complete activity on offense, self defense or even exclusive teams this season.But winning should be actually recognized, as well as losing have to be penalized. Thus, Oregon is the No. 1 crew listed here-- meanwhile. But look out if this Georgia team locates a means to play comprehensive football.Georgia, even at No. 2, thinks unpreventable once again.With that, listed here's a consider my best 25 ranks following Full week 8 of the university regulation football season:1.
