Why the Entire SEC West Division Should Not Be Ranked in Top 25

One week into the season, and the SEC is already setting records.

The new Associated Press Top 25 was released on Tuesday, and it contains a distinctly Southern flare.

Alabama jumped over TCU to the No. 2 spot behind top-ranked Ohio State, Auburn (No. 6) and Georgia (No. 10) maintained their Top 10 rankings and fresh off a 38-17 thrashing of then-No. 15 Arizona State, Texas A&M jumped from unranked to No. 16.

As Chuck Dunlap of the SEC noted on Twitter, it's a new national record for teams from the same conference being ranked in the AP Top 25.
