The Texas Longhorns remain atop our SEC football power rankings following Week 4 of the college football season. The SEC continues to look like the top conference in college football. In fact, the SEC has five of the top six teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
The SEC’s top game of Week 4 featured Tennessee picking up a 25-15 road win at Oklahoma. ESPN’s “College GameDay” attended the Tennessee-Oklahoma game, which turned into a defensive brawl. Tennessee’s defense held the Oklahoma offense in check all day and is a big reason why the Volunteers have a legitimate chance to win the SEC.
The SEC went 6-0 against nonconference opponents in Week 4. Most of the SEC’s nonconference schedule is now thankfully over. LSU defeated UCLA at home in the SEC’s best nonconference game in Week 4.
Week 5 will feature one of the top college football games all season as No. 1 Georgia travels to play No. 4 Alabama. However, we don’t have Georgia as the No. 1 team in our power rankings.
