Georgia isn’t giving up the top spot anytime soon.
After a 42-7 dismantling of Ole Miss in Oxford, the Bulldogs hold firm at No. 1 in the Week 11 SEC power rankings. Kirby Smart’s team didn’t just win - it answered for January’s Sugar Bowl loss and sent Pete Golding’s Rebels tumbling to No. 7.
The biggest move in the league came from Tennessee, which climbed to No. 2 after hammering Kentucky 34-6. That’s the highest the Volunteers have sat all season, and it comes with Josh Heupel’s team playing its sharpest football yet.
Alabama sits right behind them at No. 3 after a convincing 31-13 win over LSU in Death Valley. It was the Crimson Tide’s fourth straight victory over the Tigers, another strong showing for Kalen DeBoer’s group.
Texas made its own case in a 34-20 win over Missouri, even with the controversy around several missed calls. The Longhorns are up to No. 4, and the source material makes clear they’re being viewed as a real playoff threat if they keep stacking wins.
At No. 5 is Kentucky, despite the lopsided loss to Tennessee. South Carolina checks in at No. 6 after edging Texas A&M 17-9, while Ole Miss drops to No. 7 following the blowout at Georgia.
LSU lands at No. 8 after falling to Alabama, with Missouri right behind at No. 9 after its loss to Texas. Oklahoma moves into the top 10 after beating Florida 23-7 in Gainesville.
Florida drops to No. 11, Auburn rises to No. 12 after a 26-23 win over Arkansas, and Texas A&M slides to No. 13 after another rough offensive outing. The Aggies’ struggles were underscored by the note that transfer kicker David Olano has averaged more points against ranked opponents than Texas A&M’s offense as a whole.
Arkansas sits at No. 14 after the narrow loss to Auburn, Vanderbilt is No. 15 after a 25-23 win at Mississippi State, and Mississippi State rounds out the rankings at No. 16 after that defeat.

Texas A&M Just Lost A Recruit To A Much Worse Outcome
Mark Matthews recruiting path took a sharp turn this week, and it left Texas A&M watching one of its former commitments head to a familiar SEC rival. The top-ranked offensive tackle had been pledged to the Aggies, but he has now decommitted and announced for Georgia, a move that caught plenty of fans and recruiting insiders off guard after Miami had been viewed as the likeliest alternative.
For Texas A&M, the timing adds another layer to an already frustrating development. The Aggies are set to play Georgia twice over the next three years, which means Matthews could end up lining up against the program he once chose, turning a recruiting miss into a matchup storyline that will linger well beyond signing day.

Texas A&Ms Latest Loss Just Deepened A Brutal Season Debate
Texas A&Ms latest setback in the SEC only sharpened the questions hanging over a frustrating season. The Aggies fell 17-9 to No. 21 South Carolina, and even a day that produced 457 total yards ended with the offense unable to find the end zone. It was the kind of loss that leaves little comfort behind, especially when the scoreboard says the same thing the film has been saying for weeks.
The bigger concern is how deep the slump has become. Texas A&M has now gone three conference games without scoring a touchdown for the first time since 1971, a staggering marker for a program that expected far more from this fall. ESPNs Football Power Index has only added to the unease, projecting a losing finish and giving the Aggies a low chance of reaching the SEC title game or the College Football Playoff, which only makes the remaining stretch feel even heavier.

Texas A&Ms Road Struggles Took On A New Twist At South Carolina
Texas A&Ms road issues picked up another layer of frustration at Williams-Brice Stadium, where the Aggies fell 17-9 to South Carolina and kept searching for their first away win of the 2026 season. The loss was hard enough on its own, but it came in a game where the usual travel grind was joined by a flu bug that worked its way through the team.
Head coach Mike Elko, running back KJ Edwards and wide receiver Mario Craver were among those affected, adding an extra wrinkle to a night that never really tilted Texas A&Ms way. The Aggies now head back home for Tennessee, hoping a return to familiar surroundings can help reset a road stretch that has become a real concern. [Read more 🡒]
