USA Today just came out with the first edition of their 2011 College Football Coaches Poll and there are eight SEC teams represented in the Top-25. Georgia is ranked 22nd, while their opening weekend opponent Boise St. is ranked all the way up at No. 7 which should make that first game of the year a pretty interesting one. Here are the rest of the rankings.

Tennessee was the only other SEC team to receive votes because, let's be honest, everyone worth anything in the SEC made it into the Top-25. Georgia Tech also was included in the "outside looking in" portion of the rankings, but they only received a single vote.
