Posted on 8/25/26 at 11:23 am
Welcome back to the 11th edition of the SECR Power Rankings Panel!
How to vote:
Please vote here by 8/30 : Official Pre-Season Vote The two polls will be posted on 8/31.
We encouraged folks to share their votes and reasoning, but this is not required. You will get attacked. Embrace it!
"Panel" v. "SECR Open"
The "Panel" is a group of 2-3 voters per team, and discusses and votes within a set of guidelines.
The "SECR Open" poll allows anyone to vote, and no votes are discarded.
We might have a few spots available for the official panel - please indicate your team and interest in this thread.
We aim to have 2-3 voters per team and request that you remain active for the entire season, even if your team is terrible (you know who you are).
What is a "Power Ranking"?
This question comes up every year. This is from Google, but please interpret how you see fit and vote accordingly.
Power rankings are periodic lists that rank sports teams or players from best to worst based on current form, strength, and recent performance rather than just official win-loss records
Standings: Purely mathematical. They rank teams strictly by wins, losses, and ties.
Power Rankings: Flexible and interpretive. A team with a worse record might rank higher than a first-place team if experts believe they are playing better at the moment.
Power Rankings Guidance:

Me and Semotruman started this way back in 2012. I did all the spreadsheet graphics in excel. I want my place back on the board. Georgia.

I would like to be on the panel. I watch all of the games that I can and I will watch replays of all of the sec games by the time voting is due each week.

I like where you put Tennessee

7. A&M
I think you're underrating Texas A&M a bit. I like Mike Elko and they return their starting QB. I'd have them top 5.

2. Bama
Alabama is very talented, but they're very inexperienced. I'd have them closer to 6 or 7 just due to their inexperience.
