.RJ Youthful.FOX Sports National College Football Analyst.In the initial period of the 16-team SEC, the organization has actually shown to become even more difficult than our company assumed it may be. It's certainly not simply that Alabama distressed Georgia back in Full week 5 to achieve the No. 1 position. It is actually that Vanderbilt distressed then-No. 1-ranked Alabama. It's that the next best crew in the SEC-- certainly not the greatest team in the Big 10, Big 12 or ACC, who all have unbeaten teams in their organizations-- got approval as the No. 1 crew in the country.There have actually been actually 3 No. 1 crews in the very first eight full weeks of the season, as well as they all hail coming from the very same association: S-E-C!

There is actually a debate for Georgia repossessing the No. 1 rank it upheld start the period, and also it starts along with the Bulldogs going on the street to protect a double-digit victory over the Longhorns.

This while the Dawgs have actually certainly not played a full video game on offense, self defense or unique staffs this season.But succeeding have to be recognized, as well as missing should be penalized. Therefore, Oregon is the No. 1 team listed here-- for now. Yet beware if this Georgia team finds a method to play total football.Georgia, also at No. 2, experiences unavoidable when again.With that, listed here's a consider my top 25 positions following Week 8 of the college soccer time:1.
