SEC football continues to look more and more like a top heavy conference this year, with week 6 exposing some pretenders.

SEC fans love to pound their chest about the quality of the depth of their conference.  It has been hard to argue recently — particularly with SEC football winning a record 9 bowl games last year. While the season is still young, it certainly appears that the conference is more top-heavy than ever.

Of course, I could be made to look foolish next week. Such is life in SEC football. But given that we’re at the halfway point of the season, I feel like the statement will remain true.

Now that we’ve got the negatives out of the way, we also must examine the teams that made progress this week. The teams at the top of SEC football continue to make the conference proud.  I wouldn’t want to be a fan of any teams facing the elite of the conference.

So without further adieu…

Here we take a look at which SEC football teams gained momentum, lost momentum and stayed put.
