re: First Preseason Top 25 (8 SEC teams ranked)

I'm afraid if Arkansas is able to go 11-1 and win the SEC, that the voters would put two undefeated teams (b/w OU, Stanford, Boise St, FSU) in the championship over a one-loss, SEC Champ Arkansas.

Anyone else see that as a possibility for Arkansas or any other SEC team?

well it already happened to Auburn in 04

The SEC's prestige has gone even further up since then but when it comes to individual team rankings the team name, prestige, and recent success do color what the voters say... and the computers will typically rank an undefeated team higher than a 1 loss team... even if the undefeated played a much weaker schedule

so yes - it could happen for sure
