TOP STORYLINES

-Tennessee managed to slay the Florida Gators. That doesn't feel right to read or write. Hendon Hooker officially launched his Heisman campaign with 349 passing yards and 112 rushing yards. Anthony Richardson looked much more capable under center, but Neyland and the Vols proved that they might be the second best team in the SEC East.

-Texas A&M probably shouldn't have beaten Arkansas on Saturday, but it was a big, season-saving win for the Aggies. There's likely no beating Alabama in two weeks, but a second-place finish in the SEC West is a very likely possibility.

-Earth to Georgia? That was a bad performance against Kent State. Everyone is due one ho-hum week, however, so we'll give the Dawgs a pass this time around. I still don't see any competition for UGA at the moment. 

IT JUST MEANS...LESS

-Dedicating this entire section to Auburn and Missouri. What in the holy hell was that? Bryan Harsin has got to go...Eli Drinkwitz should've been left on the tarmac. Auburn is in a very dangerous spot, Nebraska-esque, if you will. It's sad seeing such awful football being played in Jordan Hare, and AU very well may not win another game this season, it plays Western Kentucky the week before the Iron Bowl...the Hilltoppers are no slouch. As for Mizzou, I feel like every season there's some tiny bit of false hope that gets built up around Columbia, just to fizzle out by October. LSU is a bit better, but none of the SEC Tigers are shaping up too well this season.
