SEC Football Power Rankings After Week 3: Auburn Trending Down

We found out a lot more about SEC football teams in week three with a bunch of big conference games. Here we explain how it shook up our power rankings.

SEC football had a lot of huge conference games during week three, which gave us a lot of information about how this season is going to go.

Alabama stumbled early against Ole Miss, rallied in-between, and then tried not to blow it late. LSU played well early against Mississippi State, and then held on for dear life in the second half.

Auburn went back to its struggles on offense allowing Texas A&M to run away with the win at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Alabama, Texas A&M and LSU are now clearly the top three teams in the SEC West. With Auburn, Ole Miss and Mississippi State now battling for that fourth spot.

In the East, Missouri took Georgia to the wire, but the Bulldogs came out with the one point victory. I called for Missouri to win that game, but somehow Georgia survived with a late touchdown.

Only Vanderbilt lost their out-of-conference game as they were smoked by Georgia Tech 38-7. I really thought Vandy had a shot in that game, but they’re clearly still suffering from that week one loss as things have spiraled out of control.

The SEC enters week four with eight teams ranked inside the top 25. Texas A&M joins Alabama in the top 10 this week.

Here are our SEC football power rankings after three weeks of action.
