SEC 4th

Looking over the Jeff Sagarin NCAA football ratings from the USA Today , I noticed that this "fuzzy math" has the SEC as the 4th best conference this year thus far.
Big 12, Big 10, ACC then the SEC.

I don't see the ordering ending like this but it is interesting to see with roughly 8 games down. Also shows that the playing field is "level" more so this year than in years past. Just look at Duke and Vandy; teams that use to be "bottom dwellers" that are now teams to not take for granted. Been hearing for a few weeks now that the SEC is having a down year and looking at the rankings does yield to that fact. Tennessee and Auburn are having down years which drags the conference as a whole down. But I easily will say that the SEC is a totally different brand of football and I would put them up against anyone.
