. 531. . 4-1 (1-1 SEC). Mizzou. Week 6 Result: 41-10 loss @ Texas A&M. 11. . .

Last week: 5 (-6)

After a couple of breaks that didn't go their way early on offense in the first half, Mizzou fell apart against Texas A&M on Saturday in College Station at Kyle Field. Mizzou couldn't muster any sort of ground attack against a stifling Texas A&M defensive line that helped them to just 2.3 yards per carry.

Mizzou looks really disjointed on offense, and the pass defense is lacking compared to last season.

. 10. . . 3-2 (1-1 SEC). Week 6 Result: 40-35 win vs. Alabama. . . 537. Vandy

Last week: 13 (+3)

Vanderbilt shocked the college football landscape on Saturday evening, toppling the No. 1 ranked team in the nation in the AP Poll for the first time in program history in a 40-35 win over Alabama at home. The Commodores have proven to be a tough out this season.

Dual-threat quarterback Diego Pavia spliced up the Alabama defense to the tune of over 300 total touchdowns, two passing touchdowns, and no turnovers. Next up for the Commodores is an intriguing matchup this upcoming weekend on the road in Lexington against head coach Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats.

. 4-2 (2-1 SEC). Week 6 Result: 19-14 win vs. Tennessee. 9. 524. Arkansas. . . .

Last week: 12 (+3)

The other massive SEC upset last weekend came courtesy of Arkansas and head coach Sam Pittman. Arkansas' three-high safety defense and tight run fits prevented Tennessee's offense from getting much of what it wanted on the ground or through the air in Fayetteville on Saturday.

Arkansas is in a pretty good spot in the SEC right now after three wins in its last four games entering a well-deserved bye week this week.

5-1 (1-1 SEC). 8. . 532. . Week 6 Result: 27-3 win @ South Carolina. . . Ole Miss.

Last week: 9 (+1)

Ole Miss bounced back nicely with a smothering 27-3 win over South Carolina on the road at Brice-Williams Stadium in Columbia last weekend. The Rebels stand as the only SEC defense that has held its opponent under 350 total yards and fewer than 5.0 yards per play in every game this season.

The Ole Miss defense faces its toughest test so far on the road this upcoming weekend in Baton Rouge against the No. 13 LSU Tigers.
