Power Ranking the SEC after a hectic week in the conference

Even in a loss we have the Kentucky Wildcats moving up yet, they could've went much higher in this ranking. The players played the Georgia Bulldogs down to the wire which showed a ton about this team but, their coach Mark Stoops took the chance to win away from them. Getting to midfield late in the game and punting the ball away to the much superior offense was one of the most mind boggling moves we'll see this season and Kentucky fans may never let Stoops live it down.

The Auburn faithful finally got what they wanted as Hugh Freeze took the offense away from Payton Thorne and handed it over to Hank Brown. In his first start, Hank Brown completed 17 of 25 for 235 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. If this Auburn team can find some consistent quarterback play, they'll be dangerous in the SEC as they have the talent on the outside to score on any opponent.

It's truly tough to gauge where this Arkansas team is as they've beaten Arkansas Pine Bluff and UAB but, lost to a good Oklahoma State team in a game where they beat themselves. This next stretch of Auburn followed by three ranked opponents will tell us whether or not Arkansas is a good team or if we'll see interim Head Coach Bobby Petrino. The rushing attack headlined by Ja'Quinden Jackson is good enough to scare any opponent but, this team is built to play with a lead.

Its hard to go on the road and to win in the swamp, or at least it used to be before Billy Napier was the coach at Florida. The Aggies looked great on the road and they did it with backup quarterback Marcel Reed. Reed went 11 of 17 passing for 178 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 83 yards and a touchdown. Mike Elko may have a serious decision on his hands as Marcel Reed looks like the real deal and may be the best option for this team going forward. The Aggies should be smooth sailing until their October 5th matchup with Missouri.

The Gamecocks lost but, they don't move down in our rankings and they shouldn't move down after this weekends game. South Carolina took an eight point lead into halftime against LSU and if LaNorris Sellers doesn't get injured they likely win the game. They'll face Akron this week and likely should give Sellers the week off to recover as they'll then head into a bye week to prepare for a stretch of Ole Miss, Alabama, and Oklahoma which will prove just how good Shane Beamer has done with this team.
