Power ranking the SEC after week 10: Texas A&M slides, but all is not lost for Aggies

We have some shakeup in this week's edition of the SEC power rankings, as some top teams lost and others maintained their spots.

Power ranking the SEC after week 10: #8 - Texas

The Longhorns had an off week as well after a pretty poor back to back against Georgia and Vandy. I haven’t really changed my estimation of Texas following last week’s ranking, but they fell by virtue of another team behind them rising.

They may be catching even another break, however, as there is a non-zero chance that they face backup quarterbacks in the next two games against Florida and Arkansas. Those were two games that I had my eye on last week as potential trip-up spots for the Horns, but this would obviously increase the likelihood of a 2-0 stretch by leaps and bounds.

A lot outside of their control has broken right for Texas this year, yet they still managed to lose a lot of goodwill over these last three weeks. Wins over a couple of hobbled teams over the next two weeks will probably get some casual fans believing again, but I’m still not convinced this is a championship-level squad.
