SEC Football Power Rankings, Week 8: Arkansas, South Carolina rising
By Shelbie Warr
Texas A&M doesn’t move from the No. 3 spot after a six-sack performance against Mississippi State on Saturday afternoon. The defense seems to have finally woken up and met the offense that has definitely grown up since putting up 17 points against a questionable Vanderbilt team in the first week of the SEC season. It’s a bye week for the Aggies, but they are preparing for a surging Razorback team on Halloween night.
The Bulldogs are back to the No. 2 spot after falling to Alabama this week. Stetson Bennett didn’t look up to par when being compared to Mac Jones and his Crimson Tide offense. The Georgia defense didn’t reek the “havoc” that they are accustomed to and that cost them in a big way as the game went on. They have a bye week this week before preparing to take on Kentucky on Halloween.
It is starting to look like no one is going to take down the Tide. Ole Miss had a shot, but things got out of whack when they were unable to score down the stretch and Alabama was able to keep putting up touchdowns. The same happened against Georgia on Saturday and I’m telling you now that no one in the SEC, especially not Tennessee this week, is going to take down the Crimson Tide.
