Another week of SEC football is in the books, and the conference hierarchy is starting to solidify. A huge conference road win has shaken up the top tier, while impressive performances from dark horse teams have made the middle of the pack more intriguing than ever. Take a look back at our week 4 rankings here.
Here are your official WBN SEC Power Rankings heading into Week 5.
1. Georgia Bulldogs (Previously: 1) ➖
The Bulldogs were on a bye, so they hold the top spot. Their overtime road win against Tennessee remains the best victory in the conference this season.
2. LSU Tigers (Previously: 2) ➖
LSU dismantled an FCS opponent 56-10. They did what they were supposed to do, and their defense continues to look like one of the best units in the country.
3. Oklahoma Sooners (Previously: 5) 🔼
The Sooners earn a massive jump after a statement 24-17 win over a ranked Auburn team. Their defense is legit, and John Mateer is a steady hand at quarterback. They look like a true contender.
4. Texas A&M Aggies (Previously: 3) 🔽
The Aggies slide one spot during their bye week simply because Oklahoma's win was more impressive and impactful. They remain in that top contender tier.
5. Ole Miss Rebels (Previously: 4) 🔽
Ole Miss rolled over Tulane 45-10 to move to 4-0. Trinidad Chambliss continues to be a dynamic force. They slide a spot due to Oklahoma's leap, but they are still a dangerous football team.
6. Alabama Crimson Tide (Previously: 6) ➖
The Crimson Tide had a bye week to prepare for the rest of their schedule. They hold steady as a team that seems to be improving each week.
7. Missouri Tigers (Previously: 8) 🔼
Mizzou is quietly putting together a fantastic season. They moved to 4-0 with a convincing 29-20 win over South Carolina. Ahmad Hardy is a star at running back, and their defense is tough.
8. Tennessee Volunteers (Previously: 7) 🔽
The Vols bounced back with a 56-24 win over UAB. While the offense looked explosive again, they drop a spot as Missouri's conference win carries more weight this week.
9. Mississippi State Bulldogs (Previously: 9) ➖
Jeff Lebby has his team at a surprising 4-0 after a 38-10 win over Northern Illinois. Their schedule gets much tougher now, but you can't argue with their perfect record.
10. Vanderbilt Commodores (Previously: 11) 🔼
Is Vandy for real? They are now 4-0 after annihilating Georgia State 70-21. Diego Pavia is playing at an All-SEC level, and the Commodores are one of the best stories in the conference.
11. Auburn Tigers (Previously: 10) 🔽
The Tigers fought hard on the road but ultimately fell to Oklahoma. It's a respectable loss, but it's still a loss that drops them a spot in a competitive conference.
12. Texas Longhorns (Previously: 12) ➖
The Longhorns hammered Sam Houston State 55-0. Arch Manning and the offense finally showed signs of life against a lesser opponent, but their earlier struggles keep them in the bottom half for now.
13. South Carolina Gamecocks (Previously: 14) 🔼
The Gamecocks move up a spot despite a loss to Missouri, simply because the two teams below them had even worse weeks. The offense remains a major concern heading into the Kentucky game.
14. Arkansas Razorbacks (Previously: 13) 🔽
A 32-31 road loss to a good Memphis team is a tough pill to swallow. The Razorbacks can score, but their defense is preventing them from taking the next step.
15. Kentucky Wildcats (Previously: 15) ➖
The Wildcats were on a bye, giving them a chance to fix their issues before heading to Columbia. They hold steady, with a massive opportunity next week.
16. Florida Gators (Previously: 16) ➖
Another week, another blowout loss. The Gators were completely dismantled by rival Miami, 26-8. Billy Napier's seat is now scorching hot, and Florida is firmly planted in the cellar.
