Week 10 in the SEC was full of many great games between division contenders in the East and the West. Now the the dust has settled, here is how the teams sit after this weeks games.

Alabama and LSU dominated the headlines for their matchup, and while the Crimson Tide did come out victorious in 10-0 win, the game was not as close as the score would say. Alabama defense just flat out dominated in the game, limiting Leonard Fournette to just 35 yards rushing and LSU quarterback Danny Etling to just 92 yards passing.

The shocker of the weekend was Mississippi States upset of Texas A&M. The Bulldogs sprung out to a 28-14 lead before the half and never looked back. The Georgia-Kentucky matchup was another great game, in which Georgia came out on top 27-24. The loss leaves Kentucky still within one game of being bowl eligible. Elsewhere in the SEC, Ole Miss snuck by Georgia Southern and Arkansas upset the Florida Gators.

Here are the power rankings for this week, beginning with Missouri:

Missouri played a close game with South Carolina, but they once again did not have enough offense to win.

Drew Lock and the offense played efficient but South Carolina’s defense was too much in this game, showing once again that Missouri’s offensive problems are still dire when they face better defensive teams. The Tigers are now officially out of bowl contention and can only play for pride for the rest of the year. There is a lot to like about Missouri and their future, but the offensive problems are going to be a lot to overcome.

Next game: November 12, vs Vanderbilt, 3:30pm ET SEC Network
