Power ranking the SEC after week four: Shakeup near bottom, stability up top

We're beginning to get a much better idea of who some teams are, but some SEC football teams remain shrouded in mystery.

Power ranking the SEC after week 4 - #14: Auburn Tigers

Hugh Freeze’s latest comments are getting him completely dragged in the public eye. You can’t come out with a complete dud like that offensively and passive aggressively through your quarterbacks under the bus like that.

Bo Wallace, a former QB under Freeze, has even begun to criticize him publicly. There’s quite a bit of unrest on the Plains right now, but I don’t know if anything will change this year without a dramatic dip going forward. The recruiting is still going strong, but the product on the field is nigh inexplicably bad.

The Tigers turned it over five times for the second time in three weeks. Even so, they still only lost by 10 points… but still, the offense looks simply completely lost out there so much of the time.

I am not joking when I say a loss to Vanderbilt—who all of a sudden looks quite tough and well-coached—could be in the cards here. Maybe that would precipitate something happening; at least, it would mean they probably take a big hit in the recruiting world. This will be interesting to follow for the rest of the season.
