The Southeastern Conference has a new No. 1 in Georgia after Alabama fell to Texas A&M.
Jimbo Fisher became the first of Nick Saban’s former assistants to beat the legendary coach, and the Aggies earned a bit of respect back that was lost over the first half of the year. Ole Miss and Arkansas had a shootout that only missed overtime on a gutsy two-point conversion call with no time left by Sam Pittman.
Florida struggled to beat Vanderbilt but left with a shutout after three missed field goals from the Commodores. LSU fell to Kentucky, but the big news is the loss of receiver Kayshon Boutte for the rest of the year. We’ll see how the Tigers fare without one of the nation’s best receivers against Florida next week.
