Following a dramatic slate of Week 2 action, ESPN released their latest power rankings on Sunday.
Unveiled on the same day as the Associated Press Poll, this gives us the opportunity to compare the two sets of rankings.
The top-eight teams are the same in both polls, just in a slightly different order. ESPN lists the LSU Tigers at No. 3 and the Georgia Bulldogs at No. 4, the AP Poll has these two teams flipped.
Both ESPN and the AP included six SEC programs – Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Florida and Texas A&M – in their top-25. Overall, the AP Poll is higher on the SEC, ranking all six programs in their top-12. ESPN lists the Aggies at No. 19.
All total, five SEC teams are ranked in the top 10.
Below is ESPN’s power rankings with respect to SEC teams:
2. Alabama
3. LSU
4. Georgia
8. Auburn
10. Florida
19. Texas A&M
