College football’s top performers in the SEC during Week 3

From an upset in Gainesville to a blowout in Starkville, here are the SEC’s best in Week 3.

Once conference play begins in the Southeastern Conference, typically, the cream rises. The best teams, whether it be Alabama or Georgia or someone else, get into the flow of the season and establish the power structure of the conference.

We’re only one week into SEC conference play, but the opening Saturday seemed to have the opposite effect. Georgia trailed by double digits to South Carolina at halftime. Florida took down Tennessee, who entered the game No. 9 in the Coaches Poll, by two scores. LSU rebounded from their opening loss with a second straight blowout.

Here are the conference’s standout players from the Week 3 slate.
