Several things have changed since we released our power rankings after Week 1. Some teams surprised the league while others continued to shine bright. Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi State played better than most expected. On the other hand, programs like Florida, Texas A&M and South Carolina struggled against their opponents, resulting in losses.
The expectations as a whole are high for the conference as the season unravels. With the college football landscape evolving more and more each year, many teams are looking to hit their stride. This season will determine a lot for head coaches across the conference like Missouri’s Eliah Drinkwitz and Auburn’s Bryan Harsin.
The stakes are high in several different places and the pressure has already set in for some programs. With that being said, it will be interesting to see how the teams around the league respond to adversity or success whatever the case may be.
After an interesting weekend, I will dive into my power rankings following Week 2 of the 2022 season.
