The Georgia Bulldogs played decent in a sluggish 14-3 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats. The win featured a run-heavy attack. Perhaps the Bulldogs were keeping their cards close to their chest for next week, but UGA did not look like legitimate National Championship contenders.
Now, the Dawgs are dealing with a slew of injuries heading into Saturday’s game against the Florida Gators. That mixed with turnover-heavy quarterback play from Stetson Bennett is resulting in Georgia dropping in the latest edition of SEC power rankings.
At the top, the Alabama Crimson Tide are clearly the class of the conference. Can any team defeat or even challenge Alabama? Florida may have the best chance of any team in the conference. Kyle Trask and the Gator offense would score points against the Crimson Tide defense.
In fact, the Gators, despite their loss to Texas A&M, are moving up in the latest edition of the conference power rankings. The rankings are based on who would win in a neutral site at this point in time.
SEC power rankings are per SEC Mike:

The Georgia Bulldogs fall to fourth in the SEC power rankings and it is tough to disagree. Georgia has five turnovers and scored 19.0 points per game in their last two games.
Beyond Georgia, Auburn dominated the LSU Tigers in an impressive victory to showcase their potential. Auburn still could end up as the second best team in the SEC West. The Tigers have late season games against Alabama and Texas A&M.
Texas A&M will continue to have College Football Playoff hopes following the Aggies’ win over the Arkansas Razorbacks, who fall to fifth in the power rankings. There really isn’t much separation from ranking No. 5 to ranking No. 12 in the SEC.
Teams like Tennessee, South Carolina, LSU, Ole Miss, Missouri, and more can be a handful if they play up to their potential. They will try to play spoiler all season long.
