It was a bloody and upset-filled Saturday across the Southeastern Conference. The widespread chaos is reflected by a major shake-up in this week’s power rankings. Alabama remains on top, but few other teams are in the same place they were a week ago. 
Here is where they all stand. 
1. Alabama (7-0, 4-0 SEC)
Another week, another Crimson Tide-administered beating. This week, Nick Saban put 52 points on Arkansas to educate Bret Bielema why it’s never a good idea to throw rocks at the throne. 
It’s been a while since Alabama played a team that isn’t awful, but there is no question it is the SEC’s best team. With Auburn as the only one-loss team in the SEC West, the Iron Bowl is the only potential roadblock between Alabama and a trip to Atlanta.

2. Missouri (7-0, 3-0 SEC) 
Even without James Franklin, Missouri racked up 500 yards of total offense against the top-ranked Florida defense, quieted skeptics and proved the team is for real.  
Consecutive double-digit victories against Georgia and Florida have earned the Tigers a two-game lead over everyone in the SEC East. A victory against South Carolina would effectively clinch the division. 
Last Week: 5
3. Auburn (6-1, 3-1 SEC)
Auburn was quietly having a nice rebound season in Gus Malzahn’s first campaign at the helm, but Saturday’s 45-41 shootout win in College Station catapulted the Plainsmen onto the national radar.
With LSU and Texas A&M receiving their second losses, Auburn is now the only team with a realistic shot at stealing the SEC West from Alabama.

4. Texas A&M (5-2, 3-2 SEC)
Johnny Manziel rose from yet another injury and scored five touchdowns, but his heroism wasn’t enough this time as the Aggies defense gave up 615 yards to Auburn. 
Opponents have gained five or more yards on more than half of their rushing attempts against the Aggies this season. Johnny Football’s magic can overcome a lot, but that is terrible. They’d drop more, but every team behind them lost in worse fashion. 
Last Week:  3
5. LSU (6-2, 3-2 SEC)
LSU laid an egg against Ole Miss and threw away any potential title aspirations in one of the worst performances of the Les Miles era. The Tigers came out flat, Zach Mettenberger tossed three awful interceptions and the defense’s apparent progress against Florida turned out to be fool’s gold. 
Some of Miles’ past teams have had a history of packing it in after being knocked out of title contention. With Alabama and Texas A&M still on the schedule, it will get ugly if this team doesn’t bounce back properly. 
Last Week: 2
6. South Carolina (5-2, 3-2 SEC)
Jadeveon Clowney finally played like the beast we all expected him to be, but the Gamecocks couldn’t avoid the upset in Knoxville. An MRI didn’t reveal any torn ligaments in Connor Shaw’s knee, but it’s unlikely he’ll be 100 percent for Saturday’s trip to Missouri. 
And even if South Carolina beats the Tigers, it still needs help to get to Atlanta. 
Last Week: 4
7. Ole Miss (4-3, 2-3 SEC)
Despite a rash of injuries, the Rebel Black Bears played inspired football and scored a huge upset against LSU. With Missouri as the only ranked opponent left on the schedule, Ole Miss has a chance to go on a run to end the
season.
Last Week: 9
8. Georgia (4-3, 3-2 SEC)
Injuries have crashed the Bulldogs’ season into the side of a mountain. After a turnover-filled loss to lowly Vanderbilt, Aaron Murray has to be getting frustrated with the collection of freshmen and practice-squad players around
him.
Last Week: 6
9. Tennessee (4-3, 1-2 SEC)
Butch Jones has breathed life into Rocky Top as the Vols followed a near-upset of Georgia with a huge win against South Carolina. 
Jones has the program headed in the right direction, but it’s too early to expect them to be competitive with Alabama on Saturday. 
Last Week:  11
10. Florida (4-3, 3-2 SEC)
When one facet of a football team is an utter disaster, it eventually begins to wear out the rest of the team. The Gators’ offensive dumpster fire may be spreading as their defense allowed 500 yards to a Missouri team playing without its starting quarterback.
Last Week: 8
11. Vanderbilt (4-3, 1-3 SEC)
The Commodores lost their quarterback but backup Patton Robinette led them to their first SEC victory of the season. That’s enough to move them up in this week’s rankings. 
Last Week: 12
12. Mississippi State (3-3, 0-2 SEC)
A visit from Kentucky on Thursday night is an excellent opportunity for the fighting cowbells to get that elusive first SEC victory. I like their chances against Kentucky.
Last Week: 10
13. Arkansas (3-5, 0-4 SEC)
The Razorbacks have lost their four SEC games by a combined score of 179-50. So how long ago does that 3-0 start feel? 
Last Week: 13
14. Kentucky (1-5, 0-3 SEC) 
Kentucky was voted the No. 1 team in the SEC – in a preseason basketball poll.
