Texas has moved up to #1

6 of the Top 10 teams are from the SEC

!0 of the Top 20 teams are from the SEC

Are these rankings merited or is ESPN taking care of their own?

A little of both. Only 3-5 dominate teams and another 5 -10 that could potentially upset them. After that almost anybody can beat anybody else with the right match up.
 
So, basically the B12. ACC, and PAC12 (?) are going to be 1 bid leagues. That would leave 9 teams from the SEC and B10.

They will get the majority. Those Big10 and SEC teams will also start knocking each other off. Too early to tell is the ACC or Big12 will get multiple. Really hurts the ACC that both Clemson and FSU are down.
 
Given the way teams are ranked, it is very likely that a SEC team ranked 8th or 9th could pick up 4 losses to Top 5 ranked teams.

If those losses are close games, it is also likely that those teams would stay in the Top 10. With the teams the B 10 and the SEC added, it will be almost impossible for any other league to be more than a 1 bid league, as the pollsters are also going to be watching Notre Dame.

Except, that for a short time it will be the Beverly Hillbillies with all the cash the defectors left in the PAC upon departure.
