8 of 12 SEC schools in the Top-25!

Coaches are given someone a little TOO much credit at #19! I don't care if they are defending champs. You lose that many contributors and flip a favor schedule!! I don't see them winning 6-7 games at most!

Notre Dame seems kinda high....as well as Ohio St. ( given their recent issues )

Ohio State still has the talent recruited over the past few years on campus. That seems about right to me since they've had a coaching overhaul; well, slightly. We still don't know what kind of coach Luke Fickell will end up being.

Notre Dame, like Ohio State, has the talent there as well. They've recruited well over the past five years. We do know what kind of coach Brian Kelly has been. That seems about right to me as well; possibly too low.

I've seen the over/under for Auburn at six in a few places; including locally.

I haven't taken them, but if I had I would have taken the over.

Is #19 too high? Yes, I'd think so as well. At the least, two of the three SEC teams should be ranked higher; possibly all three. It wouldn't shock me to see them 1-1 going into their Clemson weekend in week three.
