Week 10 SEC conference power rankings
Mizzou. 6-2 (2-2 SEC). . 11. . 531. . Week 9 Result: 34-0 loss @ Alabama. .
Last week: 7 (-4)
The only two ranked foes the Mizzou Tigers have faced this season are games that haven't gone well for head coach Eli Drinkwitz's squad. Mizzou was blasted by the No. 15 Alabama Crimson Tide in Week 9 on the road in a 34-0 shutout loss, along with a 31-point loss to No. 25 Texas A&M in early October.
The good news for Mizzou is that it gets a bye week at a really good time, after quarterback Brady Cook suffered an injury against Alabama last weekend. And the Tigers have a very manageable stretch of SEC games down the stretch against four straight unranked foes.
. . . . Week 9 Result: 58-25 win @ Mississippi State. 524. 5-3 (3-2 SEC). 10. Arkansas.
Last week: 11 (+1)
Arkansas' offense has come to life a few times this season. Arguably, the Hogs most impressive performance offensively this regular season came on the road last weekend, with six total touchdowns from Green in the 58-25 blasting of Mississippi State.
The remaining schedule in the month of November will be a tough road for Arkansas, but it should be manageable enough for the Hogs to reach bowl eligibility and potentially a winning record.
. . 9. . 533. 4-3 (2-3 SEC). Week 9 Result: BYE. . South Carolina.
Last week: 10 (+1)
Can the South Carolina Gamecocks play spoiler this weekend for the team that is ranked at the top of the SEC standings, Texas A&M, in Columbia this weekend?
South Carolina has played up to the competition in each game its played in the SEC this season. Head coach Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks will bring a battle-tested squad that had the bye week to prepare for the Aggies at home in Week 10.
. . Week 9 Result: 27-24 loss vs. Texas. 537. Vanderbilt. . . 8. . 5-3 (2-2 SEC)
Last week: 8 (--)
Vanderbilt hung tough with the Longhorns in a close three-point loss at home in Week 9, taking it down to the wire by a score of 27-24. If any team has proven to be a tough out at home this season in SEC play, Vandy definitely deserves its recognition for challenging ranked teams until the clock hits zero.
