A mostly dull slate of games in the SEC , was saved by the thriller that was the Texas A&M, Ole Miss game, which provided the most suspense of any game in the conference, other than Georgia and Auburn. Here are the Week 11 Power Rankings.

It has been a rough couple of weeks for Texas A&M in SEC games, has they have now lost to both Mississippi schools and dropped out of the top 10 in the nations rankings. It now seems that the Aggies aren’t even in the mix for a New Years Six game at all. Ole Miss was one of the most impressive teams this weekend, as their defense finally stepped up in a game and the college football world was introduced to Ole Miss freshman quarterback, Shea Patterson, who engineered the comeback that gave Ole Miss the win over A&M.

While Alabama has already won the SEC West, the SEC East is still up for grabs between Florida and Tennessee, and could be decided as early as this coming Saturday if the Gators beat LSU. Enough of that though, here are the Week 11 Power Rankings for the SEC.

Vanderbilt had a shot to get even closer to bowl eligibility with a win over Missouri, but the Commodores dropped the ball and lost, and will now have to win out to reach a bowl game this season.

This was a game that Vanderbilt had a good shot at winning going in, but their defense laid an egg and the team suffered for it. While the offense wasn’t at its most explosive, the defense, which has been very good for most of the season, could not get key defensive stops against the Tigers. As stated, the Commodores will have to win out if they want to get to a bowl game. That will not be any easy task as Vanderbilt faces both Ole Miss and Tennessee at home, to finish out the season.

Next game: November 19, vs Ole Miss, 8:00pm ET SEC Network
