The Sporting News is the latest publication to toss up its preseason Top 25 rankings and the SEC nabbed six spots on the list. And since Missouri and Texas A&M aren’t among those ranked, no one can say, “Yeah, but they’ve got a 14-team league down there.”
Nope, the six ranked teams — including #1 — are all schools that were in the conference last year, too:
1. LSU
3. Alabama
9. South Carolina
14. Georgia
18. Arkansas
25. Florida
For the sake of comparison, here’s the breakdown by conference:
ACC — 4 teams
Big East — 1 team
Big Ten — 5 teams
Big XII — 4 teams
Pac-12 — 4 teams
SEC — 6 teams
Independents — 1 team
