Power Ranking the SEC after a hectic week in the conference
BoomerSooners. 3-0. Last Week: 7. 464. . . . 8. .
Through three games, Oklahoma is one of the toughest teams to judge in the SEC. The Sooners demolished Temple but, Houston played them to the final whistle and Tulane played them much closer than the final score says. The biggest concern would be the passing attack, as the Sooners lost offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby and quarterback Dillon Gabriel, as Oklahoma has passed for just 484 yards. This next stretch for Oklahoma is grueling as they'll host Tennessee, travel to Auburn, and host Texas.

The LSU Football team only moves up one place here as they didn't prove a whole lot against South Carolina. We now know that LSU can run the ball after Caden Durham's breakout game but, the defense struggled until South Carolina lost LaNorris Sellers. Against UCLA and South Alabama these next two weeks we won't learn much but, the Tigers game against Ole Miss will show us who this team really is.

The Ole Miss Rebels once again won big and with ease over Wake Forest but, they still move down this week. Thus far, Ole Miss has beaten Furman, Middle Tennessee, and Wake Forest far from tough opponents while they'll host Georgia Southern this week. At some point, Lane Kiffin's team is going to have to prove they can do it against an elite opponent but, the signs are there that they'll be just fine.

We finally got to see the Missouri Tigers facing off against a decent opponent and the results were so-so. The Tigers did win but, Boston College kept this game close and while they're a good team they aren't as good as upcoming opponents like Texas, A&M, Alabama and Oklahoma which could be an issue for Missouri.
