3 – Ole Miss – 3-2 (1-1) – Even

The Rebels are looking to prove their still one of the best teams in the country after blowing big leads against Florida State and Alabama to start the season.

They’ll get another chance to take down a ranked team this weekend as they take on Arkansas. Last year the Razorbacks stunned Ole Miss by beating them in overtime, so it will be another revenge game for Chad Kelly and the Rebels.

After facing Arkansas the Rebels will travel to LSU before hosting Auburn, so they have a pretty difficult stretch of games coming up.

2 – Texas A&M – 6-0 (4-0) – Even

The Aggies built up a strong first half lead against Tennessee just like every other team, only to see it fade away in the second half.

I really can’t believe the Aggies allowed Tennessee to come back and tie that game to force overtime, but they still came away with the win thanks to seven turnovers.

Now Texas A&M gets to sit back and rest while Alabama goes to Knoxville to take on those pesky Vols. Next weekend’s game could determine who wins the SEC West.

Oddly enough for Auburn fans, we kind of need Alabama to win. Even if Texas A&M gest by the Tide, they still have Ole Miss and LSU on the schedule.

1 – Alabama – 6-0 (3-0) – Even 

Alabama asserted it’s dominance against Arkansas by jumping on them early and often on offense. I was surprised that the Alabama defense gave up over 400 total yards and 30 points to Arkansas, but a lot of that came in mop up duty.

Still, I think this Alabama team is vulnerable, and you could see them get exposed this weekend against Tennessee if they play as sloppy as they did in the second half against Arkansas.

Although, with the way Tennessee plays in the first half Alabama could be up 35-0 at halftime.
