Updated SEC Standings after Texas A&M’s 17-7 loss to Texas

Here are the updated SEC standings after Week 14

Texas A&M (8-4, 5-3 SEC) finished the season with a record that only makes Aggie fans question the future under first-year head coach Mike Elko, as Saturday night’s 17-7 home loss to Texas epitomized the Aggies’ offensive issues post star running back Le’Veon Moss’s season-ending injury.

From start to finish, the only thing that kept the Longhorns from blanking A&M by three or more touchdowns was a handful of turnovers, including cornerback Will Lee’s pick-six, which didn’t create the offensive momentum we thought it would.

While it will take a week or so for the Aggie fan base to digest the loss, Mike Elko deserves some leeway amid his first season. Still, it is fair to say that OC Collin Klein deserves the bulk of the blame for poor play calling, which included two red zone stops and too many inside zone run calls.

When measuring success during any head coach’s first season, the only path toward on-field success is making the necessary changes in the offseason to reload and avoid rebuilding.

Texas A&M will now await their bowl game destination, and the Texas Longhorns are off to the SEC Championship Game, a feat the Aggies have never accomplished.

Here are the updated SEC standings after Week 14:

Updated SEC Standings after chaotic Week 13 finish

Here are the latest SEC Standings after Week 13

Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2 SEC) and head coach Mike Elko can thank Alabama and Ole Mis Rebels for losing on Saturday, as the Aggies’ disappointing 43-41 overtime loss to Auburn did result in the postseason consequences we all assumed beforehand.

Sitting at 5-2 in the SEC standings, it all comes down to the season-finale vs. the Texas Longhorns next Saturday night for a berth to the SEC Championship game against the Georgia Bulldogs.

If the Aggies had defeated Auburn, nothing would have changed, as the most realistic path to the College Football Playoff is an automatic big in the SEC Title matchup.

The road ahead is tough, and Saturday’s performance after being down 21-0 in the first half against the Tigers has become a symptom over the past month, starting with A&M’s 17-7 deficit before storming back to defeat LSU and continuing with the 44-20 loss to South Carolina.

Bad starts can be blamed on the team and the coaching staff, while quarterback Marcel Reed can only run the plays OC Collin Klein calls, including a poorly timed option run on 3rd & 6 in overtime with a chance to win the game.

Before hitting a 10-1 Texas team with plenty of offensive firepower, this week’s preparation will determine if the Aggies head to Atlanta or play in a meaningless bowl game at 8-4.

Here are the updated SEC standings after Week 13:

  4. Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2 SEC)
  5. South Carolina (8-3, 5-3 SEC)

Texas A&M tied atop the SEC standings after Week 12

Here are the latest SEC standings after Week 12

Texas A&M (8-2, 5-1 SEC) took care of business on Saturday night against New Mexico State, defeating the road Aggies 38-3 behind QB Marcel Reed and sophomore tight end Theo Melin Öhrström’s career-high 111 receiving yards.

The Aggies dominated the, yes, Aggies from start to finish, mounting a 24-0 lead in the first half before defensive adjustments slowed down A&M’s passing attack.

Defensively, head coach Mike Elko received a clear message from defensive lineman Malick Sylla, who recorded two sacks and three tackles for loss in his second appearance this season. The junior should continue to see the field over the next two weeks.

Before facing Auburn on the road next Saturday night, Texas A&M is tied with the Texas Longhorns, who defeated Arkansas 20-10 on Saturday afternoon, atop the SEC standings. At the same time, Georgia’s big win over Tennessee has pushed the Vols down the standings and out of the running for the SEC Championship.

Here are the updated SEC standings ahead of the Week 13 slate:

Texas A&M is back in the drivers seat in the latest SEC standings after Week 11

Texas A&M remains tied atop the SEC standings after Georgia’s loss to Ole Miss in Week 11

Texas A&M enjoyed the bye week before embarking on the final stretch of the 2024 regular season. The team will start by hosting New Mexico State on Saturday night and then traveling to face Auburn in Week 12. The season finale will be against Texas on Saturday, Nov. 30.

While Head Coach Mike Elko and his team were focused on fixing the many issues that plagued the Aggies in their Week 10 loss to South Carolina, ignoring the rest of the Week 11 SEC slate would have been nearly impossible, especially with tie-breaking scenarios on the line.

Entering the week tied for first in the SEC standings with Georgia, the Bulldogs’ 28-10 loss to Ole Miss wasn’t a complete surprise, as QB Carson Beck has thrown 12 interceptions in the last three games. At the same time, the Rebels have continued to look like one of the best teams in the SEC over the past three games.

With Texas and Tennessee earning big home wins, the Volunteers are tied first with Texas A&M at 5-1. However, Tennessee will travel to Athens (GA) to face Georgia next Saturday, while the Aggies will remain at 5-1 in the conference play regardless.

Here are the updated SEC standings ahead of the Week 12 slate:

New No. 1 in the latest SEC standings after Week 10

Texas A&M no longer holds sole possession of first place in the SEC standings after falling to South Carolina

Of course, Texas A&M’s 44-20 loss to South Carolina is a large blemish on what has been a very successful season. Poor defense, including 25 missed tackles against the Gamecocks, resulted in a drubbing inside a packed and loud Williams-Brice Stadium.

However, the season isn’t in jeopardy. The Aggies still have a firm grip on their postseason destination. They are tied atop the SEC standings at 5-1 and have three regular-season games remaining after this week’s bye. This control should reassure fans that the season is far from over.

Even so, offensive coordinator Collin Klein’s lack of imagination, seen on nearly every second-half drive, didn’t help Marcel Reed. The quarterback struggled in the pocket while the running game was shut down after Le’Veon Moss’s early knee injury. Texas A&M’s offense under Klein has become a talking point and will continue to be until improvement comes.

The championship game race became clearer around the rest of the SEC as Georgia, Tennessee and Ole Miss won. Here are the updated SEC standings ahead of the Week 11 slate:

Checking in on the SEC men’s basketball standings entering final week of the regular season

The Tigers sit at 8-8 in conference play with two games remaining.

With two games to go in the men’s basketball regular season, LSU continues to impress down the stretch.

Winners of four of their last five, the Tigers sit at 8-8 in conference play after winning just two SEC games last season. While an NCAA Tournament bid is likely out of the question barring an impressive run in Nashville next week, an NIT bid is still very much in play, which would be a good sign of progress in Year 2 under [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag].

First, though, LSU has two more regular season games against Arkansas and Missouri. It will likely be favored against both and has a good chance of reaching the double-digit win threshold in conference play.

In the meantime, here’s how the standings look with two games to go.

Final SEC standings after the conclusion of the 2023 regular season

The regular season is in the books, and Alabama will face Georgia once again for the SEC title next weekend.

The 2023 regular season is in the books as LSU closed things out at home with a win over Texas A&M to finish 9-3 for the second year in a row. Now, the Tigers will await their bowl fate next weekend.

LSU won’t be participating in the SEC Championship Game this time around. That matchup has been set for a few weeks now as Alabama will take on Georgia for the conference title in Atlanta on Saturday.

The standings are now complete in the SEC as much of the league played non-conference in Rivalry Week, aside from a handful of conference games including a wild Iron Bowl.

Here’s how the final 2023 SEC standings look.

Checking in on the SEC standings heading into rivalry week

Most of the league had the week off from conference play in preparation for rivalry week.

After the so-called “SoCon Challenge” in the SEC this week in which many teams faced either FCS or Group of Five opponents, rivalry week is finally upon us.

Week 12 was fairly quiet in the SEC with the only major upset coming in Auburn as the Tigers were stunned 31-10 by New Mexico State. In the few conference matchups this weekend, Georgia boat raced Tennessee, Florida squandered a chance to upset Missouri on the road and South Carolina took down Kentucky to keep its bowl hopes alive.

Here’s a full rundown of the SEC standings after Week 12 as we prepare for the final week of the regular season.

SEC Standings Update: Conference championship matchup set after Week 11

We’re heading toward a huge battle in Atlanta in a few weeks.

In a day that didn’t feature many competitive games in the SEC, LSU’s performance in the 52-35 win over Florida was the highlight.

Quarterback Jayden Daniels became the first player in FBS history to throw for 350 yards in a game and rush for 200, and he may now be the frontrunner to win the Heisman.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, they won’t be returning to Atlanta this season as Alabama clinched the SEC West with a blowout win over Kentucky. It will face Georgia, which clinched the East by dominating Ole Miss.

With the championship matchup set, here’s how the SEC standings look with two weeks to play.

Updating the SEC Standings after LSU’s tough loss in Tuscaloosa

We have clear frontrunners in each division now.

We have a pair of clear frontrunners in the SEC.

In Week 10, Alabama seized control of the West division with a 42-28 home win over LSU as the Tigers couldn’t recreate their magic from last season’s upset win. In the East, Georgia all but clinched another division title as it held on to take down Missouri.

Elsewhere in the league, Ole Miss survived a shootout against Texas A&M while Arkansas got its first conference win on the road against Florida.

As we prepare to enter the final three weeks of the 2023 season, here’s how the SEC standings look following the end of Week 10.
