.RJ Young.FOX Sports National University Football Expert.In the very first period of the 16-team SEC, the game has actually shown to become even more difficult than our company believed it may be. It is actually not simply that Alabama dismayed Georgia back in Full week 5 to accomplish the No. 1 rank. It's that Vanderbilt dismayed then-No. 1-ranked Alabama. It's that the second best staff in the SEC-- certainly not the very best team in the Big 10, Big 12 or ACC, who all possess undefeated groups in their organizations-- acquired approval as the No. 1 team in the country.There have actually been 3 No. 1 teams in the initial 8 full weeks of the period, and they call coming from the very same event: S-E-C!

This while the Dawgs have certainly not participated in a total game on offense, self defense or unique crews this season.But winning have to be actually valued, as well as losing should be actually reprimanded. Thus, Oregon is the No. 1 staff below-- for now. However watch out if this Georgia crew locates a technique to play full football.Georgia, also at No. 2, feels inescapable when again.With that, here's an examine my leading 25 positions observing Full week 8 of the college football time:1.
