After the 2025 SEC football season, 11 of the SEC's head coaches will have losing records against ranked teams. One of them is certainly not Kalen DeBoer, who goes into the 2025 season with the best career record against ranked teams. At Fresno State, Washington, and Alabama, DeBoer is 15-3 against AP-ranked teams. DeBoer's 83.3% career success tops all current Power Four head coaches.
Predicting there will be 11 SEC football coaches with a career losing record against ranked teams is only slightly bold. Ten SEC coaches go into the 2025 season so underwater against ranked teams, they have no chance to flip their results to more ranked wins than losses.
