After another crazy weekend of SEC football, it is time to identify the biggest takeaways for each team.

Week 8 of SEC football has come and gone, and it brought with it a harsh reality. While many still felt the SEC was as dominant as last year, we must agree that the SEC is experiencing a down year. The conference just doesn’t have as many high quality teams as it usually does.

The state of Mississippi is now concerned with bowl eligibility, as is most of the SEC East. Arkansas regressed and Texas A&M became the most recent ‘tough test’ to fall short in their attempt to topple Alabama. That isn’t to say it was a bad weekend for all, however.

As previously stated, Alabama continued their dominant ways — unlike their Big 10 counterpart Ohio State. In addition, LSU has positioned themselves as an actual threat to Alabama for the first time in years.

Which teams are licking their wounds after week 8? What teams are still vying for an SEC Football Championship Berth? Read on to find just that and much more as we breakdown the takeaways for all 14 teams around SEC Football.
