Kentucky barely survived Chattanooga, 28-23. Things weren’t going well in Lexington at all. Missouri outscored SE Missouri State 59-28, looking much better this week than last week against Kentucky. Tennessee blanked Tennessee Tech 56-0 and Texas A&M did the same to New Mexico 34-0.

Alabama survived Emory Jones and Florida 31-29 in what was the most exciting game of the conference this week, something no one predicted. Arkansas overpowered Georgia Southern 45-10 and Mississippi State was, controversially, shocked by Memphis 31-29. Georgia did exactly what was expected, beating South Carolina 40-13.

LSU continued on the right track, beating Central Michigan 49-21. Ole Miss dominated Tulane 61-21 and Vanderbilt fell back into the losing side of things, losing to Stanford 41-23.
