Texas A&M Football: 2017 Week 4 SEC Power Rankings

2 of 4

COLUMBIA, SC – SEPTEMBER 16: Defensive back Mike Edwards (Photo by Todd Bennett/GettyImages) /

Previous rank: 14

Last week: 35-3 LOSS vs. Purdue

This week: vs. Auburn

The Tigers came out flat once again last week, resulting in a blowout on their home turf. Hosting Auburn at home will give them a chance to turn the season around. Any conference win would be a big win at this point.

Previous rank: 12

Last week: 27-16 LOSS @ Cal

This week: BYE

After traveling to California and losing a close game, the Rebels will try to use the bye week to figure things out. The running game should be a concern after managing only 53 yards on the ground in week three.

Previous rank: 8

Last week: 23-13 LOSS vs. Kentucky

This week: vs. LA Tech

South Carolina had everything going right until last Saturday. Along with a 10 point loss, star receiver Deebo Samuel suffered a leg injury that will sideline him for most of the season. These next few weeks will be a gut check for this team.

Previous rank: 9

Last week: BYE

This week: @ Texas A&M (Arlington)

The Razorbacks used their bye last week to get an early start on preparation for Texas A&M. Arkansas is the slight favorite in the Southwest Classic, but their inability to score this year is concerning.

Previous rank: 13

Last week: 23-13 WIN @ South Carolina

This week: vs. Florida

Kentucky was definitely overlooked by many, including me, earlier in the year. A statement win at South Carolina helped the Wildcats significantly, but they still have not been able to win by a comfortable margin.
