SEC has top three teams in Vegas rankings

The College Football Vegas Rankings are here, and there is a trend of conference domination. The SEC owns the top three teams and five of the top 10. The Pac-12, on the other hand, is creeping up on the SEC with seven teams in the top 25 and potentially the deepest conference in football.

For the first time this season, Mississippi State and Mississippi own the first two spots in the College Football Vegas Rankings without any ties. If the Bulldogs can beat Kentucky and Ole Miss can beat LSU in Death Valley on Saturday -- both are favored -- the top two likely won't change going into next week.

The CFB Vegas Rankings are the composite power ratings of a panel of professional handicappers and college football statisticians, including fellow Insider Phil Steele, Brian Edwards and Bruce Marshall of The Gold Sheet. The ratings are intended to weigh the relative strength of the teams if they met on a neutral field and to be compared to the point spread on a given game.

For example, if Mississippi State and Florida State were to play on a neutral field this week, the Bulldogs would be considered a 2-point favorite by our ratings.

Here's a lookInsider at the 25 best teams in college football according to Las Vegas.
