SEC Power Rankings Week 7: Alabama falls in shocking upset
By Shelbie Warr
Week 6 brought with it some shakeup in the SEC Power Rankings due to a big upset and some teams being knocked down to size. Where does your team rank?
The SEC saw a huge upset on Saturday as well as some teams being put in their place. Did you miss any of the action? Let’s get you caught up on everything that happened, starting with the morning slate which brought with it one of the most exciting and defense-less games I have seen in a long time- Arkansas and Ole Miss.
Arkansas and Ole Miss were locked in a battle of offensive drives that ended at the last second in a failed two-point conversion. Ole Miss won 52-51. The Rebels now control their own destiny in a path to an NY6 bowl berth as they can finish with their only loss coming to the Crimson Tide. The other morning matchup brought Vanderbilt yet another loss as they were shut out by Florida 42-0.
Tennessee picked up right where it left off last week, putting up 45 points and holding South Carolina to 20. Georgia came into Auburn and reminded everyone why they are considered one of the top teams in the nation, winning 34-10. North Texas and Missouri faced off and, thank goodness, Missouri came out on top 48-35.
Kentucky still sits undefeated after a 42-21 win over LSU. Most shocking of all though was the final game of the week at Kyle Field. Texas A&M played host to the top-ranked team in the nation and took them down 41-38 on Jimbo Fisher’s birthday. A top-ranked win after falling twice in a row to teams not even close to Alabama’s caliber? Shocking really.
Now, let’s get into power rankings- starting at the bottom.
