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 three.

1. Georgia (5) 95 points

Highest ranking: 1st (almost everyone) Lowest ranking: 2nd (Geoff)

The bulldogs lost a first place vote from last week. Yes, it was mine.

2. Texas 91 points

Highest ranking: 1st (Geoff) Lowest ranking: 2nd (almost everyone)

I think Quinn Ewers is better than Carson Beck and that's serving as my tie-breaker right now.

3. Alabama 81 points

Highest ranking: 3rd (Jason/Geoff/Cody/Alex) Lowest ranking: 5th (Travis)

The Tide dropped a spot this week on Travis' ballot. Not a lot of benefit of the doubt being given to kalen DeBoar from Mr. Galey!

4. Ole Miss 80 points

Highest ranking: 3rd (Anwar/Travis) Lowest ranking: 4th (Jason/Geoff/Cody/Alex)

No one has Ole Miss lower than 4th. Is that too much benefit of the doubt? Do we KNOW the Rebels are better than...

5. Tennessee 73 points

Highest ranking: 4th (Travis) Lowest ranking: 5th (Jason/Geoff/Cody/Anwar/Alex)

The Vols very quietly moved up 5 votes this week after the destruction of NC State.

6. Missouri 66 points

Highest ranking: 6th (Unanimous) Lowest ranking: 6th (Unanimous)

In case you didn't see it twice above, it was unanimous this week with the Tigers.

7T. Oklahoma 55 points

Highest ranking: 7th (Jason/Travis/Alex) Lowest ranking: 10th (Anwar)

The Sooners dropped six points this week after narrowly beating Houston at home.

7T. LSU 55 points

Highest ranking: 7th (Geoff/Anwar) Lowest ranking: 9th (Cody)

The Tigers moved up 6 points and ranked between 7th-9th on everyone's ballot.

9. Arkansas 42 points

Highest ranking: 7th (Cody) Lowest ranking: 12th (Travis)

Even in a loss, the Razorbacks moved up two spots. Go figure.

10. Vanderbilt 39 points

Highest ranking: 8th (Anwar) Lowest ranking: 13th (Jason)

Everyone seems to respect Vandy a little bit, except for Jason. He hates Nashville.

11. Texas A&M 37 points

Highest ranking: 9th (Jason/Geoff/Travis) Lowest ranking: 14th (Cody)

Man, Cody really hates the Aggies. I feel like I'm watching Baxter eat the wheel of cheese. I'm so proud.

12. South Carolina 33 points

Highest ranking: 10th (Travis) Lowest ranking: 14th (Alex)

South Carolina was a unanimous last-place team this week. The Game Cocks are moving on up like the Jeffersons.

13. Florida 27 points

Highest ranking: 10th (Jason) Lowest ranking: 15th (Cody)

In D.J. Lagway, Florida must trust.

14. Auburn 20 points

Highest ranking: 11th (Cody) Lowest ranking: 15th (Geoff/Anwar)

This feels too high...

15. Kentucky 14 points

Highest ranking: 13th (Cody) Lowest ranking: 16th (Travis/Alex)

Barion Brown should have transferred to Texas

16. Miss State 9 points

Highest ranking: 15th (Travis/Alex) Lowest ranking: 16th (Jason/Geoff/Cody/Anwar)

Losing to the Fightin' Carringtons last week will hurt your Q rating in the SEC. Hey, at least it wasn't unanimous!
