There are currently six teams in the SEC with two or fewer conference losses, and deciphering who will advance to the SEC Championship Game is as cloudy as ever. Add in what Lane Kiffin said earlier this week: Some coaches would prefer to avoid a trip to Atlanta if possible.

Georgia has not suffered back-to-back losses or a three-loss regular season since Kirby Smart's first year in Athens. However, with a must-win clash against No. 7 Tennessee this weekend, the Bulldogs are in jeopardy of being eliminated from the SEC title race and CFP consideration.

Across the SEC landscape, teams are still jockeying for position to reach the SEC Championship Game as well as a clearer path to the 12-team College Football Playoff. An intriguing slate of games in Week 11 could help make both of those pictures come into focus a little more.

Entering 2024, Florida's Billy Napier and Arkansas' Sam Pittman appeared to be the "favorites" among SEC coaches most likely to lose their jobs. As the calendar changes to November, the new favorite appears to be Mark Stoops, but even his firing seems like a longshot.

All-SEC linebacker Harold Perkins suffered a season-ending injury in Week 4, but since then, LSU's defense has somehow been even better. In their last three, the Tigers have allowed an average of 358.3 yards and 15.3 points as their win streak has reached six straight.

Starkville has been a problem for the Aggies. Promising seasons have frequently been derailed to the sound of cowbells despite A&M being the superior team. On Saturday, Mike Elko & Co. have the chance to ring in success rather than disappointment at Davis Wade Stadium.

Whether by consensus, bias, recent history or polls, there isn't a clear-cut answer to determining the top team in the Southeastern Conference. Some teams have yet to be fully exposed. Others could gain momentum late. With a wide-open race, chaos will surely unfold.

Encountering a formidable Missouri run defense, another productive performance from Le'Veon Moss will be required in order to continue Texas A&M's win streak. Moss, who will likely earn All-SEC honors, doesn't necessarily have to do more. He just needs to keep balling.

For the first time since 2007, Alabama, now under the direction of Kalen DeBoer, is rated a two-point underdog at Bryant-Denny Stadium as the No. 2 Bulldogs (topdogs?) roll into Tuscaloosa. Quite the stiff test for DeBoer in his Southeastern Conference debut.

Vanderbilt has the opportunity to achieve it's third consecutive win for the first time since 2017 against Georgia State. Defeating a Sun Belt Conference foe may not mean much for most (if not all) SEC schools, though for the Commodores, it'd be a welcomed sign of improvement.

After a 1-3 outing in marquee Week 1 matchups, the Southeastern Conference — or at least its bigwigs — will be counting on, of all programs, Texas, to reassert the league's dominance. From College Station to Baton Rouge, the idea is too nauseating. Just go ahead and retch...

Whereas Texas received a pleasant welcome gift, it seems as if Oklahoma upset someone within the Southeastern Conference to have been given the league's toughest slate. Brent Venables & Co. so far seem undaunted despite a bed of nails awaiting their entry.

Although LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels is the favorite to win the Heisman, there is still an argument that the award has yet to be won. With a big performance vs. Texas A&M on Saturday, Daniels could put an end to those debates.

On Oct. 16, 1976, Texas A&M kicker Tony Franklin kicked a 65-yard field goal to set a college football record. However, later that day, Abilene Christian's Ove Johansson drilled a 69-yarder to steal Franklin's spotlight in one of the most improbable days in the history of the sport.

While Lane Kiffin has proven he can win, fielding a championship-caliber team has always been a different story. Impressive wins over ranked Tulane and LSU have given Ole Miss a strong reputation this year. But Saturday night in Athens will reveal whether or not they can contend.

In a neck-and-neck battle for the SEC West Division crown, the LSU Tigers, the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Ole Miss Rebels each have a horse in the race with the season winding down. If Texas A&M upsets Ole Miss in Oxford, LSU can control its destiny at Alabama.

Injuries are part of the game, and in the SEC, nobody expects to go through the season without getting banged up. Be that as it may, South Carolina's injury woes have gotten so bad that even head coach Shane Beamer is dealing with a broken foot.

Georgia tight end Brock Bowers will be sidelined for at least four weeks with an ankle injury that required surgery to repair. With the All-American on the shelf, the Dawgs' quest for a third straight national title could be put in serious jeopardy.
