The midway point of the season has come. Here are how the SEC teams stack, in this weeks edition of the SEC Power Rankings.

It was an interesting week for many SEC teams, as the LSU-Florida game and South Carolina-Georgia game were postponed due to Hurricane Matthew, SC-Georgia to Sunday and a still undetermined date for the LSU-Florida game. Tennessee took their first loss as their first half troubles finally caught up with them. Even though Tennessee caught up to Texas A&M and the game went into 2 OT’s, A&M set the tone for the game. Elsewhere in the conference, Alabama continued to assert its dominance, this time against the Razorbacks of Arkansas.

Here are the Week 6 power rankings for the Southeastern Conference.

Vanderbilt hung in there with the Wildcats, in what just might be their last winnable SEC game for the season, yet the Commodores still came up just short.

With 4 losses, Vanderbilt is inching closer and closer to not being bowl eligible once again. Head coach Derek Mason, in my opinion will not be around after the season. The Commodore defense has been good this year, as it was expected to be, but the offense has continued to make zero progress, which much like it doomed Les Miles at LSU, might be the downfall of the Derek Mason regime at Vanderbilt.

Next game: October 15, at Georgia, 12:00pm ET SEC Network
