Separation Saturday caused a big shift in the landscape of the Southeastern Conference. Florida and South Carolina made a statement for the SEC East with two dominant victories. I can’t wait to see what Week 7 has in store.

1. Alabama (5-0)

Two road tests are up next for the Crimson Tide coming off a bye week.

First, Alabama travels to Columbia, Mo., this weekend to take on Missouri. Mizzou couldn’t even manage a win against Vanderbilt at home last Saturday. Don’t expect a better result against the well-rested Crimson Tide.

Last Week: 1 (bye)

2. South Carolina (6-0)

Oh, hello South Carolina.

The Gamecocks introduced themselves to the nation with a statement win against Georgia in primetime Saturday. It doesn’t get any easier for South Carolina. Nobody will remember what happened last weekend if the Gamecocks don’t continue their success against LSU in Tiger Stadium this weekend.

Last Week: 4 (Beat Georgia, 35-7)

3. Florida (5-0)

I certainly didn’t think Florida would be No. 3 after six weeks.

Beating LSU is coach Will Muschamp’s first signature win and the Gators now control their own destiny.

Take down Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Georgia, and the SEC East is theirs. It’s going to be tough, but after the performance against LSU, I think the Gators have what it takes.

Last Week: 5 (Beat LSU, 14-6)

4. LSU (5-1)

The Swamp and Florida senior running back Mike Gillislee proved too much for the Tigers, snapping their 18-game regular-season winning streak.

LSU won’t have any time to sulk with a white-hot South Carolina coming to town. It will be interesting to see how the LSU offense changes after being shut out in the second half against Florida.

Last Week: 3 (Lost to Florida, 14-6)

5. Georgia (5-1)

South Carolina sent the Dawgs back to Athens, Ga., with their tails between their legs.

What happened to that high-powered Georgia offense? Sophomore South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney might have had something to do with it.

A bye week followed by a game against Kentucky is just what the doctor ordered.

Last Week: 2 (Lost to South Carolina, 35-7)

6. Mississippi (5-0)

It’s time for the Bulldogs to show what they’re made of. Beat Tennessee at home, and make me a believer.

Could this team really be 7-0 in a few weeks when it takes on Alabama?

Last Week: 7 (Beat Kentucky, 27-14)

7. Texas A&M (4-1)

Freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel isn’t just a contender for SEC Freshman of the Year. He could very well be the SEC Player of the Year.

Facing a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit against Ole Miss, Manziel led a comeback by throwing and running for a touchdown in the final period. Facing No. 23 Louisiana Tech in Shreveport will be one of the best games of the weekend.

Last Week: 6 (Beat Ole Miss, 30-27)

8. Tennessee (3-2)

After a strong start, everything has gone wrong for the Vols. Coach Derek Dooley suffered a broken hip and will coach from the press box against Mississippi State.

Injuries won’t get Dooley any breaks with three straight top-25 foes looming. It’s simple: win or find a new home.

Last Week: 8 (bye)

9. Ole Miss (3-3)

The Rebel Black Bears let a win slip through their fingers against Texas A&M.

Don’t worry, at least Auburn is coming to Oxford, Miss., this weekend. It can’t even beat Arkansas.

Last Week: 10 (Lost to Texas A&M, 30-27)

10. Vanderbilt (2-3)

Missouri quarterback James Franklin’s loss is Vanderbilt coach James Franklin’s gain. The Commodores finally got one in the win column in the SEC this season after beating Mizzou on the road.

Could they win two in a row against Florida this weekend? I doubt it.

Last Week: 12 (Beat Missouri, 19-15)

11. Arkansas (2-4)

For the first time in a few weeks, coach John L. Smith can finally smile. The win at Auburn probably saved Smith’s job.

Just kidding.

Last Week: 13 (Beat Auburn, 24-7)

12. Missouri (3-3)

Quarterback James Franklin got hurt again, and the Tigers got beat again.

If he doesn’t play this weekend against Alabama, Mizzou fans shouldn’t even show up.

Last Week: 9 (Lost to Vanderbilt, 19-15)

13. Auburn (1-4)

I hope coach Gene Chizik hasn’t run out of stationery to write thank-you letters to Cam Newton for allowing him to survive at Auburn this long.

Last Week: 11 (Lost to Arkansas, 24-7)

14. Kentucky (1-5)

Has basketball season started yet?

Last Week: 14 (Lost to Mississippi State, 27-14)
