I'm Back: Pac-10 Football Is Better Than SEC Football (Part Two)

Let me show you just one example of how overrated the SEC is. The following charts show the pre-season AP poll rankings and the final AP poll rankings of both Pac-10 and SEC teams going back to 2002.

Also shown in the third box is a “u” for if the team moved up from its pre-season poll position, and a “d” if they moved down from it. A “*” is placed next to the u or d to show that the team only moved up or down 3 or less positions. Therefore, a team with a “*” next to it basically finished where it was predicted in the pre-season AP poll.

2007	Pre-season	Final
Georgia	14	2	u
Arizona State	nr	16	u
Auburn	18	15	u*
Oregon	nr	23	u
