Only one SEC game was decided by fewer than 29 points last week, and that game (between Georgia and Arkansas) was a 32-point spread at halftime. Needless to say, there was plenty gained and plenty lost throughout the SEC on “Blowout Saturday,” creating major changes to this week’s momentum rankings.

Uncle Mo watched all the games and did all his homework to come up with these rankings, and he feels pretty good about them. Remember, these are not power rankings, they’re momentum rankings, so keep that in mind when reading through the list.

As previously stated, there’s plenty of shakeup from last week’s rankings, so let’s jump right in:

1. Alabama: The Crimson Tide put any doubts regarding its top 10 ranking to bed with a 59-0 dismantling of Texas A&M in Tuscaloosa last weekend. Alabama put up more than 600 yards of total offense, limited the SEC’s top scoring offense to just 172 yards of total offense, and ran up a 45-0 lead in the first half alone with five touchdowns in the second quarter. The Tide’s victory was the most convincing win in the SEC this season, leaving suspect performances against Ole Miss and Arkansas in the past. There’s no team with more momentum moving forward than Alabama following last week’s win, and the Tide will need that momentum in upcoming showdowns with LSU, Mississippi State and Auburn.

2. Mississippi State: The Bulldogs were off last weekend, allowing Alabama to pass them in these rankings with its 59-point win. State did not lose any momentum this week; Alabama just took a big leap forward. MSU still has a tremendous amount of momentum itself, coming off three wins over top 10 teams and two byes all in the last five weeks. The Bulldogs travel to the Bluegrass to take on Kentucky this weekend, and they’re favored by double-digits in that game. Should Mississippi State improve to 7-0, and that’s likely, it would have a ton of momentum heading into games against Arkansas and Alabama in the coming weeks.

3. Ole Miss: The Rebels started slow in last Saturday’s showdown with Tennessee, punting on each of their first eight possessions before finally hitting their stride in a 34-3 win. Ole Miss is one of three undefeated power conference teams left this season, and it’s coming off a 31-point win over a longtime conference foe in the Volunteers. Although it wasn’t pretty, the win maintained the Rebels’ momentum this season, and they’ll need all the momentum they have in a tough road test against LSU in Death Valley this weekend.

4. Georgia: The Bulldogs had no trouble killing Arkansas’ momentum in a 45-32 win over the Razorbacks in Little Rock last weekend, giving the ‘Dawgs plenty of momentum heading into this week’s open date. Georgia ran up a convincing 38-6 halftime lead on its way to its sixth win of the year, and it’s now won back to back games without star tailback Todd Gurley. The Bulldogs have averaged 39.5 points per game without Gurley, and freshman Nick Chubb has averaged more than 150 yards on the ground in those two games. Georgia is clearly the best team in the SEC East, and it has gained even more momentum by rallying together in Gurley’s absence. The Bulldogs may be without their best individual talent, but this team is a wrecking ball no one wants to face right now.

5. LSU: The Tigers appear to have turned a corner in 2014 with back to back wins against Florida and Kentucky in the last two weeks. The Bayou Bengals escaped the Swamp with a three-point victory two weekends ago, then bashed Kentucky by 38 points in Death Valley last week to improve to 2-2 in the conference. LSU is back in the top 25 this week, giving it a ton of momentum heading into a home showdown against No. 3 Ole Miss. The Tigers have a great chance at an upset, and if they can hand Ole Miss its first loss of 2014, it’s safe to say LSU will appear higher in these rankings next week.

6. Missouri: It’s tough to decipher whether Mizzou won last week’s game over Florida, or whether the Gators gave the game away with six turnovers, but either way the Tigers still picked up a ton of momentum in the 29-point victory. Missouri held Florida to just 119 yards of total offense, Marcus Murphy had two return touchdowns and the Darvin Ruise ran back a pick-six in a Tigers’ rout. Missouri is still tied atop the SEC East standings, and it will maintain plenty of momentum going forward, especially following a game with lowly Vanderbilt this weekend. If Mizzou can win its five remaining games (all against unranked teams), and Georgia loses to Auburn next month, the Tigers will repeat as SEC East champions.

7. Auburn: The Tigers were off last week, and they were toppled by Mississippi State the week before in suffering their first and only loss of the season. Auburn still maintains plenty of momentum, however, thanks to a 6-0 start to the season. The Tigers are still ranked in the top 5 in the nation, and are still considered a contender to reach the inaugural four-team playoff field come season’s end one year after reaching the national championship game. If Auburn can beat an unranked South Carolina team this weekend, it’ll jump right back into the top 5 of these rankings next week.

8. South Carolina: The Gamecocks showdown with FCS foe Furman came at the perfect time on the schedule — one week removed from an open date following a disappointing 3-3 start to the season. South Carolina appears to have its feet back underneath it, but it faces a difficult test in the form of a showdown with Auburn this weekend. The Gamecocks have only beaten Auburn once in 10 meetings all-time, and that win game in 1933. However, until that game, the Gamecocks appear to have righted their ship for at least one week, gaining some semblance of momentum heading into Week 9.

9. Kentucky: The Wildcats had built more momentum than most SEC teams entering last weekend’s action, but a humbling 41-3 loss to LSU in Death Valley killed any buzz surrounding the team during its 5-1 start to the season. Kentucky is still drastically improved from its last two seasons (both ended with 2-10 records), and fans know this even following the tough defeat. Furthermore, a night game in Death Valley poses a difficult challenge for most elite teams, so it should come as no surprise to see Kentucky get smacked under those circumstances. Kentucky may not have as much momentum as it’d like heading into another tough game against No. 1 Mississippi State, but it has not returned to the realm of the completely hopeless either, at least not yet.

10. Arkansas: The Razorbacks just missed on a chance to upset Alabama two weeks ago, and many saw them as a trendy upset pick entering last week’s game against Georgia. However, Arkansas trailed 38-6 at halftime and eventually lost by 13 points in Little Rock, deflating the hopes of Razorbacks fans still awaiting the team’s first SEC win since 2012. Suddenly, Arkansas has gone from a team with promise to a team wondering when, or even if, it will win an SEC game under head coach Bret Bielema. The Razorbacks have a chance to build back some momentum this week with a non-conference showdown against UAB, but that momentum could disappear quickly during a three-game stretch against three ranked SEC West teams (Mississippi State, LSU and Ole Miss).

11. Tennessee: The Volunteers gave Ole Miss everything they had in a tough game in Oxford last week, but the offense proved too inept to upset the unbeaten Rebels on their home field. Tennessee is still winless in the SEC, and aside from a future date with Vanderbilt, it won’t be an overwhelming favorite in any SEC game the rest of the season. The Vols played admirably in defeat, but they don’t have much momentum entering another tough cross-division showdown with Alabama this weekend. Following that meeting with the Tide, Tennessee will close the year with four huge SEC East showdowns against South Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri and then Vandy, and if UT can close the season strong it could carry plenty of momentum into next season.

12. Vanderbilt: Vanderbilt had its best week of the season last week during a much-needed bye, and the open date allowed two other SEC teams to play themselves below the Commodores in these rankings. Vandy actually won its last game, but that win came by one point over Charleston Southern of the FCS. Most teams wouldn’t consider this win to be meaningful, but the Commodores will take wins wherever they can get them. Coming off a victory and a week of rest, Vandy has as much momentum as its had all season, vaulting it to No. 12 in these rankings.

13. (tied) Texas A&M/Florida: Texas A&M lost by 59 points to fall out of the rankings for the first time this year. Florida lost by 29 in a game in which it held its opponent to 119 yards of offense. The Aggies have now lost three straight games. The Gators have already lost three SEC games in their first six games of the year. Texas A&M enters an open date this week knowing its chances at an SEC West title or a playoff berth are long gone. Florida also enters a bye week with a lame duck coach who could be fired any day. It’s easy to see why both teams deserve to sit at the bottom of these rankings, and hard to differentiate which teams has more negative momentum through eight weeks. Instead of over-thinking it, let’s just call it a tie. These are not the least talented teams in the SEC, but they appear to be the two most hopeless teams to this point in the season.
