After just three weeks, only five SEC football teams are still undefeated. And that number could be nearly cut in half this week. Vanderbilt (3-0) hosts Alabama (3-0), while Georgia (3-0) hosts Mississippi State (3-0). The other undefeated team, Kentucky (3-0), is hosting a Florida team that they haven’t beaten since 1986.
Ever since the SEC started flexing their muscles with seven straight national championships, they got cocky, declaring themselves the hands-down best conference in college football. And at one point it was, but right now it’s not.
The SEC still gets the best players, has the biggest stadiums, and the most passionate fanbases, but on the field other conferences have caught up.
