Did you miss any of SEC football action this week? You may not have missed much, but here is a quick recap of what you missed anyway, starting with the morning slate.
Auburn knocked Arkansas out of the rankings and down to 1-3 in SEC play with a 38-23 win in Fayetteville. That loss makes the Aggies look bad, as they are the Razorbacks one win in SEC play, but it is what it is at this point for that team, who took down Missouri in the expected fashion- winning 35-14.
The shocker of the weekend came in Baton Rouge, where LSU for the second straight year found a way to knock off Florida, this time it had nothing to do with shoes being thrown though and everything to do with interceptions.
Georgia finally allowed someone in their endzone, which is something that hadn’t happened for two straight weeks. They beat Kentucky 30-13, making them the lone unbeaten in the conference and the unanimous No. 1 across the country.
South Carolina grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat against Vanderbilt when Zeb Noland came in to save the day. Now, how great is that really for either team? Vanderbilt continues to have one win this season and then there is South Carolina who struggled with that two-win team, making both of these teams look pretty crappy.
Alabama smashed Mississippi State, 49-9, coming off their first loss of the season to the ever confusing Texas A&M Aggies. Then, we had the horrid showing of Tennessee fans throwing trash on their own field and cheering for Rebel injuries as they lost to Ole Miss, 31-26.
Well, that is about all you missed, so let’s get you into the power rankings — starting at the bottom.
