.RJ Youthful.FOX Athletics National College Soccer Analyst.In the initial period of the 16-team SEC, the league has actually shown to be much more difficult than our company thought it may be. It is actually certainly not merely that Alabama upset Georgia back in Full week 5 to achieve the No. 1 position. It's that Vanderbilt upset then-No. 1-ranked Alabama. It is actually that the next best team in the SEC-- not the very best crew in the Big Ten, Big 12 or ACC, that all have undefeated crews in their leagues-- got approval as the No. 1 staff in the country.There have actually been actually three No. 1 staffs in the first 8 full weeks of the period, and they all hail from the very same association: S-E-C! Nevertheless, with Georgia's 30-15 win versus Texas, our company are actually liable to view the Associated Push ranking overtake me and also rank Oregon, presently resting at 7-0 with a gain at home against an extraordinary Ohio Condition staff, as the brand new consensus No. 1 team in America.However ... There is actually a debate for Georgia repossessing the No. 1 rank it held to begin the time, as well as it begins along with the Bulldogs going on the road to safeguard a double-digit victory over the Longhorns. That is actually the best win in the country. The 15-point succeed on the Forty Acres stands up over Oregon's one-point get Ohio State at Autzen, and the Bulldogs completed the feat along with quarterback Carson Stream tossing 3 interceptions and also accomplishing simply 23 of 41 passes for 175 backyards along with absolutely no touchdowns.Georgia's draw Texas was actually a prevalent as well as classic Kirby Smart defensive functionality, where Texas can do next to nothing for two quarters and routed UGA 23-0 at halftime. This while the Dawgs have not participated in a complete game on outburst, protection or even unique groups this season.But gaining must be actually recognized, as well as missing must be reprimanded. So, Oregon is the No. 1 team listed below-- for now. However watch out if this Georgia group finds a way to participate in complete football.Georgia, also at No. 2, feels unavoidable as soon as again.With that, right here's a consider my leading 25 ranks following Full week 8 of the college football time:1. Oregon (7-0) Week 8 outcome: Defeated Purdue, 35-0The Ducks presented no signs of a hangover observing their 32-31 succeed against Ohio Condition recently, bring in light work of the Boilermakers.
