SEC Power Rankings: LSU, ‘Bama set for big showdown
The Alabama monster would have been slain, and the Bulldogs would have regained the upper hand in their rivalry with Ole Miss. Many will tell you its surging Alabama, while LSU is its sole unbeaten. “I think it has been the missing confidence more than anything, and hopefully we’ve regained a few of that”.
Texas A&M, which entered the contest averaging 36.5 points and 453 yards per game, failed to reach the red zone against the Landshark Defense. The game against Texas A&M in College Station might be the most important on the schedule. “I don’t know why that is, it’s just amusing”, Henry said.
Aggies pass-catchers combined for just 134 yards receiving, made all the more impressive by the complete lack of a run game Texas A&M was able to mount.

McElwain coaches Saturday in his first Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville, which is annually billed “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”.
“That Eastern Washington-Idaho game was big, but that Montana State-Montana game, I’m telling you now, you want to go see a rivalry that a bunch of people don’t really like each other on a given day”, McElwain said “I mean, there’s a million people in the state and there’s 500 on one side and 500 on the other”.
In last week’s game vs. Kentucky, Prescott threw for 348 yards and three touchdowns, rushed for 117 and three more touchdowns and looked exactly like the dual-threat stud that led Mississippi State to the No. 1 ranking last season. Alabama kept their hopes alive with a fourth quarter rally to defeat Tennessee 19-14 this weekend. The Gators are ranked 11th nationally and carry a 6-1 record with a chance to basically, almost, pretty much clinch the SEC Eastern Division with a win over the Dawgs on Saturday. Only one other SEC player made the list along with Fournette.
Then Kelly struggled vs. Vanderbilt, got blown out at Florida and the early-season shine had worn off before the leaves began to change color. “I want us to feel good about who we are”.
