Historic Four Ranked SEC Matchups
SEC Expected to Stage Historic Record of Four Ranked Games on Saturday
Anonymous
Week 4 features a historic four ranked SEC matchups in one Saturday: Oklahoma at Georgia, Texas at Tennessee, Ole Miss at Florida, and Texas A&M at LSU. In the SEC’s division-free format with a nine-game conference schedule, the games carry early weight, particularly for Texas A&M and LSU after each lost in Week 3. Georgia and Texas are ESPN’s leading SEC title contenders, though Texas faces a difficult remaining schedule, with seven of its final nine games against currently ranked teams. In one SEC power ranking, Kentucky rose from 14th to eighth, Tennessee ranked sixth and Florida 10th; Texas A&M fell from third to ninth after a loss ahead of its game at LSU.
