Alabama and Georgia avoided scares Saturday.
SEC determining the college football national championThe powerhouse league has been represented by the last four champions and five of the previous six. It has had a team in the final game in the last eight years and 16 of the last 17 if you include the Bowl Championship Series finals.Early on this year, however, the conference appears to be diminished. The teams at the top aren’t unbeatable. Depth isn’t there.
Tennessee, which was supposed to be Georgia’s stiffest test in the SEC East, was wiped out by Florida. Undefeated Missouri and Ole Miss have been unexpected bright spots, it should be noted, particularly the former which stunned defending Big 12 champion Kansas State on Saturday. The Tigers, however, were picked second-to-last in the SEC East, and likely won’t be a factor once November arrives.The biggest surprises come at the top, particularly with Alabama and LSU, two legitimate preseason title contenders.
Maybe part of this was facing a real opponent for the first time this year after opening with UT Martin and Ball State. It also could be the result of losing 25 players to the NFL Draft in the last two years. New starting quarterback Carson Beck settled down after a shaky start, and the Bulldogs were dominant up front, piling up 189 yards on the ground while allowing only 53.
