SEC Week 11 provided some clarify, some confusion, and plenty of entertaining moments. But as we try to unpack things, here\u2019s where the regular season looks likely to end up. <\/p>\n
Just a note here\u2013 the entries include the current records and then the projected records of each team (every year, there are a few people who think it\u2019s the SEC record and predicted record, but it isn\u2019t).<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s get started, shall we?<\/p>\n
Alabama (8-1, 11-1)<\/p>\n
Alabama<\/a>\u00a0ground out a taking-care-of-business win over the slumping LSU Tigers. Alabama might need to be a little punchier on offense to outlast Oklahoma, but it\u2019s a home game and still represents the last real challenge of the regular season for the Tide.<\/p>\n Arkansas (2-7, 2-10)<\/p>\n Arkansas<\/a>\u00a0had the week off, but it doesn\u2019t help the long-term projection here. LSU and Texas on the road seem like big asks, and while Missouri is a home game, the Tigers will certainly have more on the line than the Hogs. <\/p>\n Auburn (4-6, 5-7)<\/p>\n Auburn<\/a>\u00a0had one last crack at bowl eligibility, but the Tigers found a way to lose. That\u2019s 5 one-score losses on the year. Mercer should be an easy win, but Alabama won\u2019t be. After the tough loss to Vandy, it\u2019s really on to contemplating who\u2019s next up on the Plains as head coach.<\/p>\n Florida (3-6, 3-9)<\/p>\n Florida<\/a>\u00a0certainly had a shift here. If you lose by 31 points to Kentucky, you\u2019re not going to beat Ole Miss or Tennessee. The Florida State game should be competitive, but will the Gators be mentally checked out by then? Frankly, they might already be there. <\/p>\n Georgia (8-1, 11-1)<\/p>\n Georgia<\/a>\u00a0put together a complete win, taking State\u2019s opening TD drive and then responding with the next 38 points. The Dawgs remain solid favorites for the remainder of the regular season. Texas or Tech are certainly capable of putting up a fight, but Georgia seems to be rounding into form at the right time. <\/p>\n RELATED:<\/strong> Georgia is one of many DFS legal states<\/a>.

Take care of business against FCS Tennessee Tech and then steal a road game at 2 remarkably geographically close foes in Vandy and Louisville. Both are better than Kentucky, but either is capable of an ugly loss, particularly if Kentucky\u2019s defense continues to be this stout. It\u2019s not quite likely enough to forecast it, but the Wildcats have gone from a team with no hope to having a legitimate postseason path.<\/p>\n LSU (5-4, 7-5)<\/p>\n LSU<\/a>\u00a0basically is who we thought it was \u2014 a massive disappointment on offense. The Tigers will take care of Arkansas and WKU, and take a loss at Oklahoma to end up 7-5 and in some lower-tier bowl that many of their best players will skip. Brutal season.<\/p>\n Ole Miss (9-1, 11-1)<\/p>\n Ole Miss<\/a>\u00a0has a very simple path ahead. Florida and Mississippi State probably couldn\u2019t put together a combined squad that would give the Rebels much trouble. Will the late slump in competition hurt Ole Miss heading into the postseason? It\u2019s a good problem to have. <\/p>\n Mississippi State (5-5, 5-7)<\/p>\n Mississippi State<\/a>\u00a0basically seems to have its postseason hopes come down to a game at Missouri. That\u2019s winnable, but State is very much in line with Kentucky here \u2014 a team that has a viable postseason path, but not one that\u2019s so comfortable as to make predicting its fulfillment any sort of good idea.<\/p>\n Missouri (6-3, 8-4)<\/p>\n Mizzou<\/a>\u00a0definitely felt the loss of Beau Pribula and never really had a shot at the Aggies. Oklahoma looks like a loss, but State and Arkansas are both beatable. Of the 3, the Mississippi State game is the closest to being a toss up, but we\u2019ll stick with 8-4 for Mizzou.<\/p>\n RELATED:<\/strong>\u00a0Missouri online sports betting<\/a>\u00a0is set to launch legally in the Show-Me State in just a a couple of weeks Dec. 1, 2025.

The Sooners\u2019 battle with Alabama is a potentially season-defining moment. With A&M, Georgia, Alabama, and Ole Miss all pretty safe to lock in for the CFP, the question becomes whether there\u2019s room for a fifth SEC team. If so, the Sooners, Texas, and Vandy have the best claims on it. Take of business against Missouri and LSU in home games and there\u2019s still a reason to hope.<\/p>\n South Carolina (3-6, 5-7)<\/p>\n South Carolina<\/a>\u00a0had a week off, but still seems unlikely to find the offensive firepower to outlast Texas A&M. In fact, given the Aggies\u2019 pass rush, it could get brutal. Coastal Carolina and Clemson are still plausible enough wins, but Carolina has to grab all 3 games to reach a bowl.<\/p>\n Tennessee (6-3, 9-3)<\/p>\n Tennessee<\/a>\u00a0has a faint CFP path. Take care of business against New Mexico State and Florida and then take down Vandy in the season finale. The problem is that still leaves Tennessee potentially behind Texas and or Oklahoma in the pecking order. The loss to Oklahoma head-to-head is hard to overcome. <\/p>\n Texas (7-2, 8-4)<\/p>\n Texas<\/a>\u00a0had a week off, but nothing changes the schedule ahead with Georgia away and A&M at home. Assuming a win over Arkansas, those 2 games tell the tale, and at this point, losses in both remains the most likely path.<\/p>\n Texas A&M (9-0, 12-0)<\/p>\n
