Another entertaining week in the SEC led to a pretty big shift in the rankings. I’ve added “Team on the Rise,” “Team on the Decline,” and “Games of the Week” (which will list the five biggest SEC games of the upcoming week) features to this week’s edition of the rankings.
1. LSU (19-4, 7-1). Last Week: 1
The Tigers had a pretty uneventful week, comfortably defeating conference bottom-feeders Georgia and Alabama. But taking care of business in this year’s SEC is a cause for celebration.
2. Florida (19-4, 6-2). Last Week: 5
The Gators avenged their earlier loss to South Carolina in their only game of the week. They rise three spots mostly due to attrition, as SEC East rivals Tennessee and Kentucky fell on hard times.
3. South Carolina (17-5, 6-3). Last Week: 2
The Gamecocks competed against Florida, but couldn’t complete a season sweep of the Gators. Still, they find themselves nicely positioned for a run at an NCAA Tournament berth.
4. Mississippi St. (16-7, 6-2). Last Week: 7
The Bulldogs looked impressive in Rupp Arena last Tuesday. They have firmly established themselves as a contender for the conference crown.
5. Tennessee (14-8, 5-3). Last Week: 3
The Vols’ loss to Auburn Saturday was their first real “bad loss” of the season. Tennessee, who also struggled to beat Arkansas earlier in the week, is clearly still a very inconsistent team.
