Eight SEC teams ranked in Coaches Preseason Poll
Yet another sign that college football season is just around the corner has arrived, as the Amway Coaches Preseason Poll was released Thursday morning. Eight SEC teams made the initial list and with Mississippi State and Texas A&M receiving the most votes outside of the top 25, the SEC has 10 of the top 27 ranked teams in the Coaches Preseason Poll.
