ESPN has released its top-25 college football rankings headed into the summer. Georgia fans, you might not like what you read below.
The Oklahoma Sooners are rated as the No. 1 team heading into the 2021 season, even after losing three-straight CFP semifinal appearances to SEC teams.
Why does that matter?
Those ranked directly behind Oklahoma are the two best SEC programs around. ESPN rates Alabama at No. 2 and Georgia at No. 3, with Clemson as the last team in at No. 4.
ESPN’s Mark Schlabach mentions the Sooners’ additions via the transfer portal as a factor.
