Four weeks into the season, the top teams in the SEC are starting to separate from the rest of the pack. As SEC play is heating up, we will start to see who is a pretender and who is a threat.

After four weeks, we have begun to see what the SEC football teams really have in their players. Most coaches have ironed out their starting lineups and rotations. Everyone is back to their regular schedule as far as game-planning, preparing, and practicing goes. While some injuries have occurred and hinder us from seeing a team’s full potential, most teams are clearly trending in a certain direction after September.

Today, we look at the SEC as a whole and tier out all 14 teams. We’ll see who the top dogs are, who is close to breaking through, who has a lot of work to do, and who is really working on a multi-year plan.
