SEC football rankings entering Week 3 of the 2016 season. Alabama remains on top after handling Western Kentucky at home.
Alabama coach Nick Saban said he was embarrassed after the Crimson Tide beat Western Kentucky, a game that featured Saban yelling at Lane Kiffin on the sideline. A win is a win, though, and Alabama still sits atop our SEC rankings.
Plenty of the SEC teams in action picked up wins, too, including Arkansas’ stunning double-overtime victory at TCU. Georgia didn’t look very impressive, though, and LSU had to play without Leonard Fournette.
Here’s a look at how we see the SEC heading into Week 3.
Week 3 SEC Football Rankings
14. Kentucky
Make that 30 straight losses to Florida.
13. Vanderbilt
Many believed Middle Tennessee would provide a tough challenge, but Vandy came away with a 23-point win.
12. Missouri
Put 61 points on Eastern Michigan after finishing with only 11 in last week’s loss to West Virginia.
11. South Carolina
Tough loss to Mississippi State after the thrilling win over Vanderbilt to open the season.
10. Mississippi State
The Bulldogs need that win after being shocked by South Alabama.
9. Auburn
Had little problem with Arkansas State after giving Clemson all it could handle last week.
8. Arkansas
First the Razorbacks block a field goal that would’ve given TCU the win at the end of regulation. Then they score a touchdown in each overtime to pull out a stunning victory over the Horned Frogs.
7. LSU
The Tigers were able to get past Jacksonville State without Fournette, but how long will he be out?.
6. Florida
Left no doubt while continuing its domination of Kentucky.
5. Ole Miss
Won its layup game with Wofford after blowing that lead against Florida State.
4. Tennessee
Big comeback victory over Virginia Tech after falling behind by 14 after the first quarter.
3. Georgia
The Bulldogs needed to get a couple first downs to win 26-24 over Nicholls, which entered as a 55-point underdog.
2. Texas A&M
The 67-0 win over Prairie View A&M was much more comfortable than the double-overtime victory over UCLA last week.
1. Alabama
Nick Saban can feel embarrassed all he wants. His team is still the best in the country.
