No Feleipe Franks (Florida)? No Jake Bentley (South Carolina)? Joe Burrow (LSU) is only #25?

Does 247Sports purposely slight the SEC a bit just to offset the blatant SEC bias from ESPN? I had never noticed it before but it would make sense.

I’d guess that they wanted to be balanced—so that fans from all the conferences have a reason to read the article.

Hurts is going to kill it at Oklahoma, and it pisses me off already.
He is a good QB and a GREAT leader. However, he doesn't handle reading passing progressions well. Even when he does, he is too methodical. While he will face less stellar defenses in the Big Xii, Iowa State plays defense at an SEC level and will give him trouble. For example, he is not any better than Will Greer. So, I think he will have a good year at OU, but he will be a more dangerous runner than passer, but he is no Kyler Murray or Baker Mayfield. He will not even be the All-Big Xii QB let alone the Heisman Winner. Just my onion as someone who has been following Alabama football since 1971.
