Even in a down year, the SEC is one of the deepest conferences in college football. But it doesn’t have many playoff contenders.
Georgia remained at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 after its 22nd consecutive win on Saturday, a close come-from-behind victory over Auburn. The Bulldogs are 2-0 in the SEC but their victories over South Carolina and Auburn came by a combined 17 points. Just two of the Bulldogs’ nine SEC victories a season ago were by 10 or fewer points.
Despite the Bulldogs’ sluggishness to start their wins over South Carolina and Auburn, they still look to be the best team in the conference by a decent margin.
