The Week 3 edition of the AP Poll was released on Sunday, and it looks fairly different from last week’s. It was not a great week for the SEC, and that was reflected in this week’s AP poll. Five SEC schools were included in the top 25 (for the first time this year it was five instead of six). Four of the schools included are in the top 14, and the five included are in the top 17. Three other schools also received votes on at least one person’s ballot (8 of the conference’s 14 teams were included in at least one person’s ballot).
Here is the highest and lowest spot for each SEC team on ballots in the Week 3 AP Poll Top 25.
