Power ranking the SEC after College Football week 3: Texas A&M football on the rise as new team claims top spot

Conference play has hardly begun, but the SEC has already been a wild ride this year. This latest batch of games has some fans claiming that Georgia isn't even a top-3 team after their struggles on the road against Kentucky, for example.

There's still a lot of football left to play, of course. There are so many teams that have yet to face any challenges—and a couple that have faced nothing but challenges so far.

All that said, let's jump right in and take a look at how the power rankings shake out for the SEC this week.

Power ranking the SEC after week 3: #16 - Mississippi State

I am so sorry, but you cannot lose to Toledo and not come in last on this list, unless someone else somehow lost to Toledo as well. And that’s impossible!

Mississippi State looked like they may have had something going in week one with a relatively competent performance (such as it was) against Eastern kentucky, but whatever momentum might have been there is now completely out the window. It has been replaced with a loss to Toledo.

We have what is, in SEC terms, possibly the pillow fight of the century this weekend when the Bulldogs host the Florida Gators at noon this weekend. I legitimately have no idea how to pick that game.
