Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Oct. 5, 2026, 4:33 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I have no idea what team is the fourth best in the SEC. The win chain is Miss St > Mizzou > Florida > Ole Miss > LSU so I am sticking with that. LSU is probably better than 20 but that's how it goes this week. As of now I have Bama>Georgia>Texas, I know Texas has the best win but I have not been convinced by their play otherwise.
