Power Ranking the SEC heading into Week 8 of the College Football Season

Everyone penciled Ole Miss in as a playoff team in the offseason yet, seven games in and Ole Miss has two losses. Things won't get much easier for Ole Miss as they face a tough Oklahoma defense next weekend followed by Arkansas and Georgia. The offense hasn't clicked in SEC play like everyone thought it would and things could start to get ugly if Lane Kiffin can't flip the switch fast.

The Missouri Tigers got to beat up on the UMass Minutemen this past weekend after getting demolished by Texas A&M. Now Missouri has to turn the page as they take on a reeling Auburn team in a game both teams need badly. Missouri has next to no room for error with Alabama looming on the schedule but, if they win the games they're supposed to they'll likely end the season 10-2/

This weekend was another weekend where Tennessee didn't look great hardly pulling out a win in overtime over a helpless Florida team. This weekend is the hardest test of the season as Tennessee takes on Alabama who could expose the weaknesses Arkansas and Florida have revealed. The first few weeks this team looked elite but, the last two games Nico Iamaleava and the offense have really struggled.

After everyone wrote the Aggies off after their week one loss to Notre Dame, the Aggies have played their way back into contention. Their loss to Notre Dame will age well while they're win over Missouri is massive and they still get a chance to build against LSU and Texas. This weekend, Mississippi State should be an easy game for the Aggies before they take on LSU in their biggest game yet.
