.RJ Young.FOX Athletics National College Soccer Analyst.In the very first season of the 16-team SEC, the league has shown to be much more difficult than our team presumed it might be. It's certainly not merely that Alabama upset Georgia back in Week 5 to achieve the No. 1 position. It's that Vanderbilt dismayed then-No. 1-ranked Alabama. It's that the next best team in the SEC-- not the best team in the Big Ten, Big 12 or ACC, that all have unbeaten groups in their organizations-- got approval as the No. 1 team in the country.There have been actually 3 No. 1 crews in the 1st 8 full weeks of the time, and also they all hail coming from the very same conference: S-E-C!
