Here were give our SEC Football power rankings after week seven of the college football season. Auburn remains among the top teams in the conference.

Auburn football had a great bye week as two teams ahead of them in the power rankings took some bad losses with Tennessee getting embarrassed by Alabama and Ole Miss falling to Arkansas.

To be fair, Tennessee is beat up and coming off a difficult stretch of games, but they aren’t the team we thought they would be. Because of that, they are taking quite a hit in our power rankings this week.

Alabama has asserted itself as the one dominant team in the conference after what they did on the road against Tennessee. Now they have to face another top 10 team, but this time at home.

Elsewhere in the SEC, Florida and LSU both got out to slow starts before blowing out Missouri and Southern Mississippi respectively.

In somewhat of an upset, Vanderbilt will move out of the basement because of their win on the road against Georgia.

I thought Mississippi State played pretty well on the road against a good BYU team, but they ultimately lost in double-overtime.

There are three ranked games inside SEC football this weekend with No. 1 Alabama taking on No. 6 Texas A&M, No. 17 Arkansas playing No. 21 Auburn, and No. 23 Ole Miss traveling to face No. 25 LSU.

The only other SEC game will be between Mississippi State and Kentucky, which is actually a huge game for either of them making a bowl game.

There are three out-of-conference games with South Carolina hosting UMASS, Missouri playing Middle Tennessee and Vanderbilt taking on Tennessee State.

I can’t wait for another exciting weekend of SEC football!
