10 SEC teams in the AP Top 25 after Week 1

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/10-sec-teams-in-the-ap-top-25-after-week-1-183309382.html

At this point, it's easier to tell you which SEC teams aren't in the AP Top 25 after the first week of the 2015 college football season.

Those teams are South Carolina, Florida, Vanderbilt and Kentucky. Yes, that means 10 of the SEC's 14 teams are in the AP Top 25, the most teams one conference has ever had in one AP Poll.

The previous record was held by the SEC at eight, and it had eight teams in the preseason AP poll. After Texas A&M's convincing win over Arizona State on Saturday night and Mississippi State's win over Southern Miss, the two SEC teams jumped into the top 25 at No. 18 and No. 25 respectively....

If you're an SEC hater, there's no need to waste any energy complaining that the SEC is overrated at the moment. The conference will not have 10 teams in the top 25 for very long. All seven SEC West teams are currently in the poll and once conference play begins, well, they're going to start beating each other. Depending on the result of Saturday's game between LSU and Mississippi State, the loser may be out of the post-week 2 top 25.


And I know there are plenty of SEC haters out there.

that was not fun for alums to watch! I have a feeling they won't have an easy time with Ohio though. We'll see how it goes the next few weeks.
