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 the final week of the regular season.
(Note: @Alex Dunlap did not participate this week and is now on voting probation.)
1. Texas (5) 80 points (Last week: 1st)
Highest ranking: 1st (Unanimous) Lowest ranking: 1st (Unanimous)
The Longhorns have beaten one SEC school ranked in the top 10 of this week's Power Poll. They need to make it 2 on Saturday.
2. Georgia - 75 points (Last week: 4th)
Highest ranking: 2nd (Unanimous) Lowest ranking: 2nd (Unanimous)
The Dawgs are +490 to win the national championship. That seems like a good number for those so inclined.

The Gators are the best win on the Texas resume, right?

Will the Aggies remain in the top 10 with a loss this weekend?
