The Louisiana State Tigers are likely one win away from punching their tickets to Atlanta for an improbable appearance in the SEC Championship Game in year one under Brian Kelly. Sitting at 7-2 overall, LSU is 5-1 in the SEC and ranked No. 7 in the latest CFP rankings.

Depending on which poll you look at, this weekend's battle in Athens between Tennessee and Georgia could be viewed as an extremely rare No. 1 vs. No. 1 matchup. Regardless, whoever prevails will greatly boost their College Football Playoff resume.

Ole Miss seemed poised to be one of college football's strongest teams with a 7-0 start to the season, but with narrow wins over Kentucky and Auburn before enduring a blowout loss to LSU, the Rebels' early success may have been due to the weakness of their opponents.

No. 7 Ole Miss is one of the few remaining undefeated teams in the country; however, they have yet to face an obstacle tougher than a road trip to Baton Rouge. The Rebels hope to win on the road to remain in the driver's seat in the SEC West.

It's a top-10 battle in Knoxville as No. 6 Tennessee looks to beat No. 3 Alabama for the first time since 2006. Behind Hendon Hooker, the Volunteers have posted their first 6-0 start since 2016, but Nick Saban's mighty Crimson Tide look to end a magical season on Rocky Top.

After three blowout victories to begin the season, Georgia appeared destined to repeat as national champion, but the Bulldogs have posted back-to-back lackluster wins vs. Kent State and Missouri. Still, Kirby Smart's team remains among the nation's elite.

Nick Saban's Alabama empire has been less dominant away from Tuscaloosa, but the Tide hasn't stumbled against Arkansas since 2006. On Saturday, Alabama again hits the road as they face Sam Pittman's Razorbacks in a top-20 matchup in Fayetteville.

Over the last two decades, Florida has dominated Tennessee, winning 16 of the last 17 meetings. However, as the 20th-ranked Gators prepare to visit Neyland Stadium this weekend, the No. 11 Volunteers are the favorite to snap a five-game losing streak in the rivalry.

After spending a decade in South Bend, Brian Kelly is about to coach his first Southeastern Conference game as his LSU Tigers host Mike Leach and the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday night as league play returns to the nation's premier football conference.

Texas will join the SEC in 2025 (or sooner), but on Saturday, the Longhorns will get a taste of what's to come when they host top-ranked Alabama in Austin. With the Crimson Tide sitting as a 20-point favorite, many expect Steve Sarkisian & Co. to be limping out of Week Two.

With college football in full swing this weekend, there are already plenty of storylines to follow across the Southeastern Conference with predictions, emerging teams and key matchups. Olin Buchanan deep-dives all this and more in his first weekly look at the SEC this year.

As the regular season draws near an end, it is time for all-conference teams to be announced. Olin Buchanan makes the case for each high-performing Aggie to receive All-SEC honors and reviews their individual season achievements thus far.

After the infamous thrown shoe by Marco Wilson last year against LSU, the Florida Gators are 4-8 and desperately searching for answers. Dan Mullen fired his defensive and running game coordinators, but he knows more answers will be needed soon to satisfy Gator nation.

The college football season is already in week 10, which means remaining games are becoming more and more crucial for teams with college football playoff hopes. But with plenty of room for potential chaos, the playoff committee could end up being in a tough spot.

The Florida Gators face a tall task this weekend in Jacksonville as they square off against top-ranked rival Georgia. Dan Mullen will need to make a decision about who to start at QB, but the Gators will need to produce impressive numbers to stand a chance against the Dawg's D.

Many historic rivalries in college football have been one-sided as of late, and this includes the 'Third Saturday in October' rivalry between Tennessee and Alabama. The Tide have won 14 straight, and it will take a lot from Josh Heupel and the Vols to make it competitive this year.

Years after leaving Tennessee as the ultimate villain, Lane Kiffin will once again be a head coach in Neyland Stadium, this time trying to settle an old score from the visitor's sideline.

The two teams in the SEC — and most likely the country — that have stood far and above the rest so far this season are Georgia and Alabama. But as the only other undefeated team in the SEC, the Kentucky Wildcats have exceeded expectations and are continuing to impress.
