Every week during the season, the Orangebloods staff will release an updated SEC Power Rankings that reveals the state of the conference in our eyes. All teams are ranked 1-16, with the first-place team receiving 16 points and the last place team receiving 1 point.
Let's take a look at how things look going into week five.
1. Texas (6) 96 points (Last week: No.1)
Highest ranking: 1st (unanimous) Lowest ranking: 1st (unanimous)
Cody was the last hold out and now he has come around to having the Longhorns in the top spot.
2. Georgia - 88 points (Last week: No.2)
Highest ranking: 2nd (Jason/Geoff/TRavis/Anwar) Lowest ranking: 4th (Cody)
If the Dawgs beat Alabama this weekend, is that enough to swing them back into the No.1 spot?
3. Alabama 82 points (Last week: No.3)
Highest ranking: 2nd (Alex) Lowest ranking: 5th (Anwar)
If the Tide beat UGA at home, is there any thought they might jump above Texas?
4. Tennessee - 80 points (Last week: No.5)
Highest ranking: 2nd (Cody) Lowest ranking: 5th (Travis)
The Vols moved past Ole Miss with the win over Oklahoma and are knocking on Alabam's door going into this weekend's massive showdown in Tuscaloosa.
5. Ole Miss - 75 points (Last week: No.4)
Highest ranking: 3rd (Travis) Lowest ranking: 5th (Jason/Geoff/Cody/Alex)
The Rebels have a cakewalk of a schedule and are scoring points at will, but the respect is lagging in September.
6. Missouri 64 points (Last week No.6)
Highest ranking: 6th (almost unanimous) Lowest ranking: 8th (Anwar)
The Tigers almost lost at home this week, but remain a steady No.6, although another school is close to chasing them down...
7. LSU 61 points (Last week: No.7)
Highest ranking: 6th (Anwar) Lowest ranking: 7th (everyone else)
The Tigers have been gaining steam the last two weeks...
8. South Carolina 52 points (Last week: No.13)
Highest ranking: 7th (Anwar) Lowest ranking: 9th (Geoff)
From No.16 three weeks ago to alone in 9th place and ahead of...
9T. Texas A&M 42 points (Last week: TNo9)
Highest ranking: 8th (Geoff) Lowest ranking: 11th (Alex/Anwar)
I keep ranking the Aggies higher than anyone. Maybe I just believe in that defensive talent more than the rest.
9T. Arkansas 42 points (Last week: 11Tth)
Highest ranking: 8th (Alex) Lowest ranking: 12th (Jason/Cody)
The Hawgs are moving up the list, but is it realistic to think they can go higher? This might be the ceiling.
11. Oklahoma 41 points (Last week: No.8)
Highest ranking: 9th (Jason/Alex) Lowest ranking: 11th (Geoff/Cody/Travis)
The Sooners fall out of the top half of the list and might not return for the rest of the season. What would a loss to Auburn mean?
12. Kentucky - 27 points (Last week: No.T11)
Highest ranking: 9th (Cody) Lowest ranking: 14th (Alex)
The Wildcats keep playing teams close, but not quite getting over the hump.
13. Vanderbilt 22 points (Last week: No.14)
Highest ranking: 12th (Anwar) Lowest ranking: 15th (Travis)
Travis is unwilling to give Vandy a morsel of respect. Does he hate Nashville?
14. Auburn 21 points (Last week: No.13)
Highest ranking: 12th (Alex) Lowest ranking: 14th (Cody/Anwar)
Travis is unwilling to give Vandy a morsel of respect. Does he hate Nashville?
15. Florida 16 points (Last week: No.15)
Highest ranking: 13th (Anwar) Lowest ranking: 15th (Geoff/Cody/Alex)
It's all but over the Florida coaching staff and they have to know it.
16. Miss State 6 points (Last week: No.16)
Highest ranking: 16th (Unanimous) Lowest ranking: 16th (Unanimous)
