The SEC has been a wild ride so far in 2025, but it's beginning to look like a clear hierarchy is forming in the conference. Almost every team has faced a real test so far, and the passes and fails have both been educational as to where they land in the SEC food chain.
There are still some teams where the jury is out at this point, but we're beginning to get a better idea of who exactly these squads are. There could always be some unexpected movement or upsets, and we always see some team hit an inflection point and start playing differently— in both good and bad directions— but the order is becoming more and more solid.
