Five SEC teams had the week off during Week 8, so there was not much excitement in the league on Saturday.
But there almost was.
I know the score does not show it, but Tennessee put up a great fight against Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night. The Vols were within a touchdown of the Tide until the beginning of the fourth quarter. Alabama ended up winning by four touchdowns.
Ole Miss took down LSU in a game that was never close. The Rebels jumped to a 31-7 lead before LSU fought back.
Georgia and Florida were off this week to prepare for their annual rivalry in Jacksonville on Oct. 30.
Here are our updated SEC power rankings after Week 8.
