Power ranking the SEC after week 10: Texas A&M slides in conference shakeup
While it wasn't a great weekend for Texas A&M football, it was another solid slate of games for the SEC. As we approach this November stretch run, we have got some hugely consequential matchups incoming, not least of which are two fast-approaching in UGA-Ole Miss and LSU-Alabama.
Those will be highly determinative for how the conference ends up shaking out, but we're starting to get an increasingly clear picture. Let's talk about how the SEC shakes out after this week of games.
Power ranking the SEC after week 10: #16 - Oklahoma
The Sooners had a big victory, but they still fell to the bottom of the rankings here by virtue of Kentucky acquitting themselves well in Knoxville. Of course, the Sooners’ big victory was over the dreaded and feared Maine Bears, so it’s not that significant in the grand scheme of things.
But getting a win is exactly what the Sooners needed. Will it be enough to spur them on to further success? I kind of doubt it.
OU will need to defeat one of Missouri, Alabama, or LSU to reach bowl eligibility. It goes without saying that Mizzou will be the easiest of those three opponents, especially if they are without Brady Cook, but that’s still no small challenge—especially given that the game is in CoMo.
The offense has looked more functional the past two weeks after firing Seth Littrell, but we need more than two data points to declare a resurgence. They’ll need to show up big time against what is still a solid Missouri defense if they want to get that win in Columbia.
