The Coaches Poll has its problems, but like the AP Top 25 Poll, it went with Texas at No. 1 after its win over Ohio State, and it’s all SEC dominance from there.

Georgia is still the No. 2, and LSU (7), Texas A&M (8), Ole Miss (9), and Alabama (10) means that half of the Coaches Poll top ten is made up of SEC teams.

With Tennessee at 14, Oklahoma 21, and Missouri 22, it keeps on going. And it doesn’t stop there. Florida (26), South Carolina (30), Mississippi State (31), and Vanderbilt (32) mean a whopping 12 of the top 32 are all SEC.
