The SEC bias conversation is back, and On3's 2026 preseason Top 25 gives college football fans outside the conference plenty of ammunition.
On3 has nine SEC teams ranked in the Top 25, including an absurd seven teams inside the Top 14. Texas leads the conference at No. 3, followed by Georgia at No. 4, Oklahoma at No. 8, Ole Miss at No. 9, Texas A&M at No. 10, LSU at No. 12 and Alabama at No. 14. Tennessee comes in at No. 20, while Florida barely sneaks in at No. 25.
That means 36% of On3's entire Top 25 is made up of SEC programs.
At some point, you have to ask: Are all of these teams really that good, or are we projecting the SEC logo more than what teams have actually proven?
Texas being No. 3 is one of the easiest places to start. The Longhorns entered last season with massive expectations and failed to even make the College Football Playoff. Yet here they are again, immediately placed ahead of Georgia and defending national champion Indiana.
