Greg McElroy Reveals Each Power 4 Conference’s Controversial Top 4 Rankings
Greg McElroy has not been one to shy away from his loyalty to the Crimson Tide, but there have been moments where Alabama fans feel as if he turns his back on his alma mater. On his show “Always College Football,” he ranked the top 4 teams in each of the Power 4 conferences, and his SEC rankings may raise many eyebrows. McElroy’s Top 4 within the SEC consists of Georgia, followed by Texas, Tennessee and then Alabama.
He explained that while the Tide may have looked less than stellar against USF in Week 2, the team does look like it has improved. “You’re going to say, well, they looked really, really rough last week against USF. Fair enough,” said McElroy. “USF made them look really bad last year too.
This year, the big difference is they ran away from them in the fourth quarter and that showed growth.” In terms of Tennessee being ahead of them, McElroy raved about the Volunteers’ defense through the first couple of games. With Alabama entering the harder part of their schedule with Wisconsin and No. 1 Georgia on deck, they will either have a chance to jump in the rankings or plummet out of them.
