Week 14 SEC conference power rankings
. . 6-5 (3-4 SEC). . 11. 537. Vanderbilt. . . Week 13 Result: 24-17 loss @ LSU
Last week: 11 (--)
There wasn't quite enough scoring from the Vanderbilt Commodores offense to muster a win over No. 21 LSU in Baton Rouge at Tiger Stadium last weekend. LSU's offense pushed the Tigers over the hump, outgaining Vandy's offense by a margin of over 100 yards.
Vandy could be a dangerous team to watch this weekend in rivalry week against No. 7 Tennessee.
. 10. 529. LSU. . . . . 7-4 (4-3 SEC). Week 13 Result: 24-17 win vs. Vanderbilt
Last week: 10 (--)
Despite the gritty win over Vandy by one score in Baton Rouge over the weekend, LSU is still facing some turbulence down the stretch to close out the regular season. LSU stays ranked and is firmly bowl eligible, but the late-season stretch has been defined by sideline drama with head coach Brian Kelly and a four-game skid that cost the Tigers their Playoff and conference title chances.
Mizzou. 8-3 (4-3 SEC). Week 13 Result: 39-20 win @ Mississippi State. . . . 531. . . 9
Last week: 9 (--)
What looked like a potential disastrous end to the 2024 regular season just a few weeks ago has turned into a possible double-digit win campaign for Mizzou entering the finale against Arkansas this weekend. Mizzou took care of business by double digits on the road against Mississippi State last weekend, beating another squad that the Tigers were expected to handle in SEC play this fall.
Ole Miss. . 8-3 (4-3 SEC). . . . 8. 532. Week 13 Result: 24-17 loss @ Florida.
Last week: 2 (-6)
Ole Miss was eliminated from the SEC Championship Game after the loss to Florida last week. The Rebels Playoff hopes are also on life support (and that might be generous to say). If Ole Miss doesn't get some help from chaos elsewhere in the next couple of weeks, this season could wind up being a big disappointment for head coach Lane Kiffin.
