It was a relatively quiet week in the Southeastern Conference, with five teams on their bye week.
In Week 8, we saw LSU take down Ole Miss, Alabama top Mississippi State, South Carolina won over Texas A&M, Missouri beat Vanderbilt and Tennessee beat up on UT Martin. Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Auburn and Arkansas all had the week off.
There’s not too much movement in my updated power rankings, but it does see LSU jump up after the big win over the Rebels.
