The USA Today preseason Coaches Poll was unveiled Thursday. You can view the full poll here.
Eight SEC teams were ranked — Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee, but Mississippi State and Texas A&M were the top two teams that received votes. So, 10 of the country’s top 27 teams are from the SEC. That’s impressive.
But what did the rest of the country think about the preseason poll? Here are a few Twitter reactions:
Amazingly, every SEC school except Vanderbilt received votes in USA Today’s preseason coaches poll #SECbias

Florida received the same number of votes as Georgia Southern in the USA Today Coaches poll. That’s embarrassing… for Georgia Southern.

I like to think the voters were just trolling the Gators by giving them 2 votes in coaches poll – the same as Georgia Southern.

Coaches poll is all wrong. @AlabamaFTBL has the number 1 recruiting class and should obviously be #1 #RollTide #Bama
