The SEC once again ranks as college football’s No. 1 conference. The league took both spots in last year’s national championship matchup, as Alabama edged Georgia in overtime to win its fifth title in nine years. Both the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs are both projected by Athlon Sports to earn a repeat trip to the CFB Playoff in 2018, with Auburn and Mississippi State headlining the next tier. The SEC is Athlon’s pick as the best league for 2018, but the Big Ten isn’t far behind. This conference boasts five of Athlon’s projected top 12 teams for the upcoming season.
