6 – Texas A&M (17)

The Aggies have actually been one of the more impressive teams in the SEC to me this season. They picked up a big win to start the season over a ranked UCLA team. Then they followed that up with a 67-0 thrashing over an FCS team.

On a week when some SEC struggled against FCS opponents, Texas A&M did exactly what you’re supposed to do against a team like Prairie View A&M.

The offense scored eight touchdowns and had 672 total yards against Prairie View A&M. Trevor Knight looks like he is going to fit in nicely for Kevin Sumlin’s offense.

The Aggies next game will tell a lot about both teams. Both Sumlin and Gus Malzahn entered the season on the hot seat, so both coaches need this game badly.

Next up: Auburn – 6 p.m. – ESPN

5 – LSU (20)

After Wisconsin’s big win over LSU to start the season, the Badgers moved all the way up into the top 10. That tells you how highly the media thinks of LSU.

I on the other hand have not been impressed with the Bengals through two weeks. I think their defense is as solid as always, but nothing has changed on offense.

If Leonard Fournette is banged up at all, this team is toast in my opinion. He sat out against Jacksonville State, but they can’t afford to be without him during SEC play.

Les Miles finally made a switch at quarterback giving Danny Etling a shot after Brandon Harris started 1-of-4 against Jacksonville State. We’ll see if he goes back to Harris this weekend, but it’s definitely time to give someone else a chance.

Everyone assumed Harris would be a different quarterback this year, but that’s simply not the case.

They have a chance to pick up momentum against Mississippi State this weekend before a trip to Auburn.

Next up: Mississippi State – 6 p.m. – ESPN 2

Next: Ole Miss and Tennessee
