Week 4 SEC conference power rankings
A&M. . 873. . 2-1 (1-0 SEC). Week 3 Result: 33-20 win vs. Florida. . . . 7
Last week: 9 (+2)
The Texas A&M Aggies' offense looks much more dynamic with the dual-threat Marcel Reed leading the way at starting quarterback. Reed rushed for one score and threw for two to help lead Texas A&M to a double-digit win on the road for their first SEC victory over Florida at the Swamp last weekend, coming in relief of the injured Conner Weigman.
I'd expect Reed to be the starter at quarterback again for Texas A&M this weekend as they take on the Bowling Green Falcons at home.
Week 3 Result: 27-21 win vs. Boston College. . . . 3-0 (0-0 SEC). . 6. 531. Mizzou.
Last week: 5 (-1)
Mizzou pulled out a tough home victory against a ranked Boston College Eagles squad in Columbia last weekend. The Tigers' defense has proven to be very good through the season's first three weeks. The offense needs to show more consistency and cohesiveness, especially through the air with quarterback Brady Cook.
Cook has too many weapons at the skill positions for Mizzou to be lacking in the big play department to this extent. Mizzou ranks 126th in the FBS in offensive explosiveness this season (per College Football Data).
Miss. . . 532. . . 3-0 (0-0 SEC). Week 3 Result: 40-6 win vs. Wake Forest. . 5
Last week: 4 (-1)
The Ole Miss Rebels looked dominant again in Week 3, handily defeating a P4 opponent on the road by five touchdowns against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in Winston Salem. Ole Miss did make some mistakes on offense, namely a couple of turnovers, but it didn't matter with how well the defense is playing right now.
. 527. Georgia. . 3-0 (1-0 SEC). . 4. . . Week 3 Result: 13-12 win vs. Kentucky
Last week: 1 (-3)
One of the biggest fallers this week in the SEC power rankings is Georgia. While it's never an easy task to win on the road in primetime games in the SEC, head coach Kirby Smart and the Dawgs had some concerns emerge on the offensive side of the ball last weekend against Kentucky.
For one, Georgia doesn't have any significant skill weapons on the outside that should scare any of the top defenses in the SEC, at least right now. Georgia's ground game also isn't as dominant and physically imposing as we've seen in years' past.
I still think Georgia will rebound and continue to improve offensively where it needs to. But Georgia has a rough SEC schedule this fall that could amount to a couple of losses that keeps them out of the SEC Championship Game if they don't find some key answers on offense and in the trenches.
