As predictable as the sun rising in the East. It is the 4th law of thermodynamics. It is one of the 613 mitvot in the Torah. There must be at least 3 SEC teams in the Top 10 in Preseason AP poll and that number shall not be reduced during the lifetime of the poll. So it is written; so it shall be , from this time forth and forever more.

And I love how they just randomly threw Tennessee and Mizzou in at the very end like we wouldnt notice. Adorable.

Seems pretty fair to me. You can argue that Arkansas and Tennessee are a bit high, but I don't see any true head scratchers.

Mizzou was at least 11-3 last year. SEC East was sketch last season but they still finished 3-2 against the top 25. Tennessee hasn't really done anything to deserve that ranking but it's not like any of the receiving votes teams are anything special.

Tennessee will not have a winning record this year. 5 wins is being optimistic. They have major injuries on defense.

My feelings are not hurt.

SEC teams are ranked so high because they basically beat the crap out of each other all
Year and whoever survives it's gets the playoffs because their schedule

10 teams. 10!!! A quarter of the conference is ranked greater than the top quarter of the country!!!!!!?

Totally ridiculous. Teams in other conferences lose to conference foes, they stink.

Teams in the SEC lose to conference foes, they're great..just not as good as the other team. No matter what team it is in the SEC.

Sorry to vent

Only 4 in the Top 15. Nothing to get worked up over.

So much for last year changing the perception of the SEC... maybe two straight down years will do the trick

Mizzou also lost at home to Indiana who was arguably one of the worst teams in the big last year.......I mean , come on , this is your divisional champion and you want to call yourself the PREMIERE conference in college football.

AP is still worthless....

Worthless in the grand scheme of things.Yes. But still, these are the writers that cover college football. Team and conference perception based off these rankings.

Perception will change around the same time the BSPN/SEC contract is changed.
