SEC Week 11 Review

The SEC's best team won convincingly again, against one of the other top teams in the conference.

Alabama beat LSU 38-17 on Saturday, showing exactly why they are number one in the country. Alabama has a fairly easy last few games, except for the huge season ending game against the rival Auburn, who has just one loss, and is second in the SEC West. LSU now has three conference losses and has been knocked out of contention for an SEC title.

Auburn not only won against a solid Tennessee team on Saturday, but they did it in great fashion, winning 55-23 off special teams touchdowns. They still have Alabama left at the end of the year, and a possible game with either Missouri or South Carolina in the SEC title if they can get by the Tide. Tennessee now has just two games against Vanderbilt and Kentucky left. They should be able to win at least one of those games, but in order to make a bowl game, they would need to win both.

Texas A&M and Missouri both had big wins this week against Kentucky and Mississippi State. A&M won 51-41, while Missouri won 48-17. Both teams are fighting for bowl positioning, as only two teams can make the BCS from a conference, and Alabama will be one from the SEC. Missouri is also trying to get to the SEC title, as they are in first place in the East.

Vanderbilt was able to beat Florida 34-17 this week. Florida now needs to end the year by beating either South Carolina or Florida State just to make a bowl game, and maybe need to win both if they can't beat Georgia Southern who is sandwiched in between those big games.
