Before you all hate on Phil Steele, this is his projection for the AP preseason top 25, not what he personally ranks the teams:

I counted NINE SEC teams --- Bammer (3), Barner (9), UGA (10), Ole Miss (12), LSU (14), Mizz (19) Arky (20), Miss St (21), Rocky Top (24). That sounds about right, because the AP voters would rank all 14 if their conscience wasn't in the way: Durrr, shouldn't this be a national poll durr?
To be fair, the Big 12 has two in the top four, so the playoff projection might make up for last year's end of season slight (TCU at 2, Baylor at 4)
BUT... the Sooners have fallen to No. 22. We're still ranked, yes, but our reputation took a huge hit last season.
