Florida holds strong at the top of the SEC power rankings, as Georgia and Mississippi State jump up. Vandy remains in last but will try to change that this weekend when Ole Miss comes to town, who fell two spots after a devastating loss to South Carolina last weekend. Agree with the rankings? Disagree? Hit us up in the comments.
Quarterback Tim Tebow got destroyed by a Kentucky defender, and had to be hospitalized with a concussion. Fortunately for the Gators, they won the game convincingly and they have an off week to rest their starting quarterback.
The Crimson Tide simply smacked Arkansas, who never had a chance in this game. Quarterback Greg McElroy had a career day for Alabama, passing for 291 yards and 3 touchdowns.
LSU maintained its perfect record, but it wasn’t pretty. It took a goal line stand and an incredible special teams touchdown for the Tigers to stave off Mississippi State.
Georgia got out of SEC play this week, taking on Arizona State. They barely escaped with a win, needing a late field goal to seal the deal. Next they face LSU, which will be a true test of where they are as a team.
South Carolina showed that they belong in the conversation with a gutty win over Ole Miss. To take down the number four team in the country is never an easy task, and the Gamecocks simply got it done when they needed to.
The Rebels’ performance in Columbia was not surprising if you watched their previous two games against mediocre opponents. Ole Miss has been over-hyped, and it showed as they went into a tough SEC environment.
Auburn improved to 4-0 with a shootout win over Ball State, who moved to 0-4. The Tigers’ true colors may start to show at the end of the year, as they face four ranked teams in their last five games.
The Razorbacks looked lost against Alabama, as their performance in Tuscaloosa was uninspired. They did give Georgia a test two weeks ago, and have the ability to win against Texas A&M and Auburn in their next two contests.
The Bulldogs lost to LSU, but they gave the Tigers a really tough test. With a dominating win over Vanderbilt and pushing the No. 7 team in the country to the wire, this team is showing how hard they are playing.
Coming off a fairly close (and much discussed) contest against Florida, the Volunteers got a cupcake game to get back to winning ways. They didn’t put Ohio away immediately however, winning 34-23.
The Wildcats looked really bad in their loss to Florida, but the Gators make most teams look their worst. Wins against Louisville and Miami (OH) aren’t enough to make up for the drubbing however.
The Commodores took care of business against Rice, but with both of their wins coming against terrible teams, there’s not much reason for optimism yet. Vanderbilt played LSU close, but a deplorable loss to Mississippi State still lingers.
