The 2025 SEC media days are currently underway in Atlanta, where representatives from all 16 member schools have gathered for the annual extravaganza. The event also marks the midpoint of the summer season, leaving just a month and a half before the college football season kicks off.
While the media days schedule continues to unfurl, USA TODAY Sports reporter Paul Myerberg took a moment to rank the Southeastern Conference from top to bottom for the upcoming campaign. In his list, he placed the Florida Gators among the top teams in the league at No. 5 overall — just behind the LSU Tigers and ahead of the Oklahoma Sooners.

“Bringing back Billy Napier may end up working out for the Gators,” Myerberg begins.
“The decision not to make a move after a slow start in 2024 sparked a strong finish and developed some significant momentum heading into a promising season. No one embodies that promise more than sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway, who will have his development lifted by an upgraded receiver room.”
Here’s how he projects the 16 SEC schools from top to bottom, from the Texas Longhorns to the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
