As you can see, in the Amway Coaches Poll, the Duke Blue Devils and Bulldogs came close to sneaking into the list, but still have some work to do.
As far as the SEC, Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M, and LSU all cracked the top 10, and at this point, there is a solid chance that outside of bowl games those four teams, plus Mississippi State and Ole Miss may go undefeated outside of their own division, which would be an amazing accomplishment. Speaking of the Rebels, they check in at No. 12.
The first team in the SEC East, Georgia, who is ranked ahead of South Carolina, stands at No. 14, while the Gamecocks check in at No. 16. The defending SEC Champions, Missouri, checks in at No. 19.
Over half of the SEC is currently ranked in the top-20, with five out of seven teams in the SEC West holding rankings of 12 or better.
The SEC also fared well in the AP Poll. Alabama and Auburn hold top-five spots with LSU, Texas A&M and Ole Miss also residing in the top-ten. Georgia and South Carolina check in at Nos. 13 and 14 (for some reason, South Carolina won, but is still behind Georgia), and Missouri comes in at No. 18.
So there it is, for the Bulldogs, it looks like a win over LSU will be required to crack the polls early this season.
