14 – Kentucky

The Wildcats are the only SEC team without a win after two weeks.

After being up 35-10 against Southern Miss in week one, they fell apart and lost 44-35. That loss seemed to flood over into week two as they were embarrassed by Florida in a 45-7 loss.

Mark Stoops job is definitely in jeopardy as his defense has given up 44 and 45 points in the first two games.

If it can’t get the defense turned around quickly he could be on his way out as head coach.

The Wildcats got a late touchdown in the fourth quarter against Florida to avoid the shutout, but those are there only points in their last six quarters of football.

This has been a disastrous start for Stoops and Kentucky, but hopefully they can get back on track this weekend.

13 – Missouri

Believe it or not, Missouri actually has scored the most points this season by any SEC East team with 72 through their first two games.

Six-one of those points came against Eastern Michigan this past weekend in their 61-21 win. That was a much better performance from their week one loss to West Virginia 26-11.

The Mountaineers are a solid Big 12 team, but one you would hope an SEC team beats on a regular basis.

A big win over a MAC team doesn’t tell us much about Missouri, but their upcoming game against Georgia will.
