Saturday was another great day for College Football fans and especially fans of the SEC as it was a loaded weekend of games. Anytime you get massive matchups like Alabama Vs Tennessee and Georgia Vs Texas, you are going to learn a ton about the teams in their conference. After Week Eight, here is how we Power Rank every team in the SEC as we head down the back half of the year.

. 16. 525. . Last Week: 16. . . 2-5 (0-4). Aubie.

The Auburn Tigers had a great chance to get back into the win column this week with what could've been a massive win over Missouri. Instead, the Tigers squandered an 11 point lead in the fourth quarter allowing 15 unanswered points and are now 2-5 with no wins in SEC Play. Through 20 games, Bryan Harsin was 9-11 and (4-8) in the SEC and was fired after his 21st game, Freeze is 8-12 and (3-9) in SEC play.

Last Week: 15. 15. . 530. . LebbyState. 1-6 (0-4). . .

This was always going to be a tough season for Mississippi State as Jeff Lebby took over a program going through a ton of change. The past two weeks have actually been inspiring for the Bulldogs fanbase as they've played Georgia and Texas A&M very tough. If you're a Bulldogs fan, you'd like to see this team pull off an upset down the stretch of this season to build some momentum as Lebby looks to bring in more pieces in the Transfer Portal.

14. . 3-4 (1-4). 528. . . . Ukey. Last Week: 13.

Figuring out the Kentucky Wildcats every week is one of the toughest things to do on a week to week basis. This team is good enough to beat Ole Miss and to play Georgia down to the wire but, the losses like this weekend's at Florida are head scratching at best. The Wildcats are now 3-4 and 1-4 in the SEC and there maty be some uncomfortable conversations going on especially after Mark Stoops tried to leave this offseason.

. Last Week: 12. . Soonerbooms. 4-3 (1-3). 464. . . . 13

This season has been a nightmare in Norman, Oklahoma as the Sooners can't get anything going offensively. Saturday's Game started with an interception which set up a touchdown, a Gamecocks scoop and score, and a Gamecocks pick-six immediately putting Oklahoma in a 21-point hole 5 minutes into the game. While most of the Sooners' struggles can be blamed on a lack of talent on offense Sooners' fans are certainly questioning the decision to extend Brent Venables this offseason.
