Major changes atop the SEC standings after Week 12

There’s a new top team in the SEC standings after Georgia’s 31-17 win over Tennessee in Week 12

The Texas Longhorns are back on top of the SEC standings after Week 12. Texas won 20-10 in a closer than expected game at Arkansas. The Longhorns’ defensive front disrupted Arkansas’ offense and forced a key fumble.

In the SEC’s top game of Week 12, Georgia earned a massive 31-17 home win over the Tennessee Volunteers, who were previously atop the SEC standings. Georgia is done with SEC play and will have to wait and see if it makes the SEC championship game.

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck looked like a first-round NFL draft pick again as Georgia played its first home game in a month. The Bulldogs are almost College Football Playoff locks.

Florida upset No. 22 LSU at home to keep its bowl hopes alive. Quarterback DJ Lagway returned for Florida, which crushed LSU’s remaining SEC championship and playoff hopes.

South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers threw for 353 yards, five touchdowns and one interception as the No. 21 Gamecocks scored late to beat No. 23 Missouri.

Auburn beat Louisiana-Monroe, 48-14. Kentucky beat Murray State, 48-6. Alabama beat Mercer, 52-7, and Texas A&M beat New Mexico State, 38-3. A whopping five SEC teams played non-Power Four opponents in Week 12.

Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma and Mississippi State had bye weeks in Week 12.

There’s a new No. 1 in the SEC standings after Week 11

The SEC standings got turned upside down in Week 11 after Georgia’s loss to Ole Miss

The Tennessee Volunteers are on top of the SEC standings after Week 11. Georgia suffered a 28-10 loss to Ole Miss, which ended Georgia’s brief reign at No. 1 in the conference.

Ole Miss is back in the SEC championship race, which is very balanced. Georgia’s loss means the Bulldogs have two conference losses and don’t have the tiebreaker with Alabama or Ole Miss. As a result, Georgia is unlikely to make the SEC championship game.

Speaking of Alabama, the Crimson Tide demolished LSU and its College Football Playoff hopes in a shocking 42-13 road win.

Texas blew out Florida, 49-17, to continue its strong season. South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers and running back Raheim Sanders both scored a pair of touchdowns to help the Gamecocks beat Vanderbilt 28-7.

Tennessee crushed Mississippi State, 33-14, but may have lost starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava in the process. Oklahoma’s stunning collapse in a 30-23 loss to Missouri continued the Sooners’ downfall.

Arkansas, Kentucky, Auburn and Texas A&M had bye weeks in Week 11.

New team atop SEC standings after Week 10

The SEC standings got a major shake up at the top in Week 10 after Georgia’s win over Florida.

The Georgia Bulldogs are on top of the SEC standings after Week 10. Texas A&M’s 44-20 loss at South Carolina ended the Aggies’ undefeated SEC run and vaulted Georgia to No. 1 in the conference.

Georgia picked up a closer than expected 34-20 win over Florida. The Bulldogs and Gators were tied at 20 late in the fourth quarter before Georgia pulled away,

Georgia’s opponent next week, Ole Miss, looked dominant in a 63-31 road win over Arkansas. Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 25 of 31 passes for 515 passing yards and six touchdown passes in a nearly perfect performance. He connected with wide receiver Jordan Watkins early and often. Watkins had eight receptions for 254 yards and five touchdowns.

The Rebels remain in College Football Playoff contention, but need a big win over Georgia to improve their playoff hopes.

Tennessee beat Kentucky 28-18 in a tight home win to keep the Volunteers’ hopes of playing in the SEC championship alive.

Quarterback Diego Pavia and Vanderbilt added to Auburn’s misery with a 17-7 win at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Oklahoma earned a 59-14 nonconference win over Maine. Mississippi State beat UMass, 45-20, in an easy win.

Alabama and LSU had bye weeks ahead of their Week 11 clash. Missouri and Texas also had byes.

SEC standings after battle of undefeated teams, crazy Week 9

A clear favorite has emerged atop the SEC standings after earning a massive win over LSU in Week 9

The Texas A&M Aggies are the SEC’s big winner from Week 9. Texas A&M used a 31-point second half to top the LSU Tigers in a battle of undefeated SEC teams (in conference play only). Texas A&M is in the driver’s seat to advance to the SEC championship.

The Aggies have a relatively easy path to Atlanta with remaining conference games at South Carolina, at Auburn and versus Texas. However, Texas A&M may need to win out to ensure a berth in the SEC title game.

The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated the Missouri Tigers, 34-0, to squash Missouri’s College Football Playoff hopes. The Crimson Tide remain alive in the SEC but will need some help to get back in the SEC title picture.

Texas picked up a 27-24 win at Vanderbilt to keep its SEC championship hopes strong. Ole Miss defeated Oklahoma, 26-14, in a gritty win. Arkansas piled the points on Mississippi State in 58-25 win. Auburn earned a 24-10 road win to get their first conference win of the season.

The Georgia Bulldogs had a bye in Week 9 ahead of their clash with the Florida Gators next week. Florida also had a bye along with South Carolina and Tennessee.
