ESPN writer Edward Aschoff ranked the SEC defensive backs in his preseason position rankings article Friday and pegged the Florida Gators at No. 1.

quote:
1. Florida: The Gators lost very little from a secondary that ranked third in the SEC in pass-defense effiency (107.4). This unit is headlined by All-American cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III, who has defended 30 passes with six interceptions in two years. Florida’s coaches feel they can confidently rotate seven guys in the secondary, including SEC All-Freshman cornerback Jalen Tabor, nickelback Brian Poole and safety Keanu Neal, who combined to defend 30 passes with eight interceptions last season.

Complete DB rankings:
1. Florida
2. LSU
3. Ole Miss
4. Georgia
5. Tennessee
6. Arkansas
7. Missouri
8. Alabama
9. Auburn
10. South Carolina
11. Kentucky
12. Mississippi State
13. Vanderbilt
14. Texas A&M

Best corner in football in Hargreaves
Tabor is a five star who played very well last year
Poole is the best pure slot corner in CFB(sucks on the outside though it's weird)
Neal is one of the best safeties in the country
Our back ups Wilson, Dawson, and Harris could start on most teams.

LSU is a close second, but they are second.
