Uncle Mo is back with another addition of his momentum rankings following some great games in Week 11. He watched them all, read all the polls and did all his homework to come up with this week’s rankings, and he feels pretty good about them.

Remember, these are not power rankings, they’re momentum rankings. There’s a difference. Keep that in mind when reading through the list.

There’s plenty of shakeup from last week’s rankings, so let’s jump right in:

1. Alabama: The Crimson Tide locked down a signature win over then-unbeaten and former No. 1 Mississippi State last weekend, and the victory has the Tide in the driver’s seat not only for an SEC title but also the No. 1 seed in the inaugural College Football Playoff. The Tide’s best win of the year, coupled with a path to another national championship, gives it more momentum than any team in the nation entering Week 13.

2. Arkansas: The monkey is finally off the Hogs’ backs. But seriously, Arkansas finally broke through and won its first SEC game since 2012 when it shut out LSU 17-0 last week. The win was as convincing as the score, and it should give Arkansas a huge boost heading into the final two weeks of the season needing just one win to become bowl eligible. The Razorbacks proved they can hang with quality teams in close losses to Alabama and Mississippi State, and now with a shutout against a ranked LSU team under their belts they should stay competitive in their final two conference games.

3. Ole Miss: The Rebels haven’t played a real game in nearly three weeks (they had a bye last week and a game against Presbyterian the week before), giving them plenty of time to heal up and move on from losses to LSU and Auburn. Ole Miss should have its swagger back, and its done nothing but rise in the CFP poll during its recent hiatus. As the nation’s highest-ranked two-loss team, the Rebels are not completely out of the playoff picture and they’re definitely in line for a New Year’s Six bowl if they win out, giving them plenty of motivation to add to the momentum they’ve already gained by doing nothing the last two weeks.

4. Georgia: The Bulldogs should be higher on this list following a 34-7 dismantling of Auburn, but Todd Gurley’s season-ending knee injury is a bit of a buzz-kill. Georgia should still get plenty of production out of its run game from Nick Chubb, who was spectacular during Gurley’s suspension, but the emotional strain Georgia will undergo by losing Gurley slots the Dawgs behind Ole Miss in these rankings. It’s not just that Gurley is done for the season; he’ll likely never play another down for Georgia in his career. That’s a bummer, and it drains UGA’s momentum heading forward just a tinge as a result.

5. Missouri: The Tigers earned a huge road win at Texas A&M last week to remain in first in the SEC East, and now they know what is at stake the rest of the year — win and you’re in, lose and Georgia is on to Atlanta. Missouri is more confident than you think; remember, these guys won the East last year. The Tigers have won nine straight on the road and they’ve won ballgames in a number of different ways this year. Missouri has a lot of momentum behind it, and it’ll need every bit of it to get to the finish line unscathed.

6. Mississippi State: The Bulldogs lost for the first time this year in Tuscaloosa last week, but the Bulldogs salvaged a little momentum by cutting the deficit to five late in the game. Then they earned the No. 4 ranking in Tuesday’s updated CFP poll, which gave them a little more momentum knowing a playoff spot is still well within reach. Mississippi State could allow the loss to derail its season, or it could let the loss fuel a late-season charge to the playoff. Considering how experienced this group is, fans should expect the latter.

7. Tennessee: The Vols are 2-0 since Joshua Dobbs became the starting quarterback, and they scored 95 points in those wins (over South Carolina and Kentucky). Tennessee scored 50 points in three quarters last week against UK, and once again Dobbs threw for nearly 300 yards yards and accounted for four total touchdowns. Tennessee is red-hot, and if it can survive this week’s game against Missouri before closing the year against Vandy, it could end with 2014 with a 4-4 conference record and a 7-5 record overall. Considering how poorly UT began the year it’s safe to say they’ve picked up a lot of momentum in recent weeks.

8. South Carolina: The Gamecocks improbably blocked a field goal and a punt in the final minutes of regulation to force overtime and eventually beat Florida in the Swamp last week. The win saved South Carolina from an epic collapse and kept the Gamecocks on track for a bowl berth this season. Has South Carolina lost, it would have fallen to 4-6, meaning it would have had to beat Clemson for a sixth straight year just to reach a bowl game. Now, at 5-5 with a game against South Alabama scheduled this weekend, the Gamecocks can go back to focusing on what the Clemson game is really about — bragging rights. The win kept the season afloat and gave South Carolina a nice boost of momentum moving forward.

9. Texas A&M: Now we’ve reached the point in the rankings where things start to turn for the worse. Texas A&M suffered a deflating loss at home to Missouri, knocking it out of the CFP rankings after just one week. The Aggies failed on a fourth and 1 from inside the Mizzou 5 yard line in the fourth quarter, and ended up losing by seven points to drop its record to 7-4 on the year. A&M has already clinched bowl eligibility, but aside from the win over Auburn the second half of the season has more or less been one big disappointment.

10. Auburn: In a matter of two weeks, the Tigers have fallen from SEC West and CFP contender to a three-loss team coming off a 27-point loss to one of their oldest rivals. Auburn is not completely out of the discussion for a New Year’s Six Bowl, but for now it’s on the outside looking in after falling to No. 14 in Tuesday’s rankings. The Tigers season took a turn for the worse swiftly and painfully, and although they’re talented enough to recover they’re out of momentum and have Alabama looming in two weeks. Auburn needs a spark in a bad way to get things moving in a positive direction again.

11. LSU: The Tigers blew a golden opportunity at home against Alabama, then followed it by laying an egg in Fayetteville against Arkansas. LSU was shut out for the first time since 2011, and it was shut out by a team that hadn’t won a conference game since 2012. The Tigers now have four losses and just one game left this season — a Thanksgiving showdown with Texas A&M, which also has four losses. The Tigers will have two weeks to recover and move past this stretch of three losses in four weeks, but they won’t have much momentum on the road against the Aggies.

12. Vanderbilt: The Commodores were on a bye last week, and they benefitted from bad losses by Florida and Kentucky to rise to No. 12 in this week’s momentum rankings. Vandy has only lost once this month (granted, it has only played one SEC game). Relative to the rest of this season, Vandy is actually in pretty decent shape.

13. Florida: The Gators lost a lot of momentum by blowing a late lead at home against South Carolina in Week 12. The loss not only set the team back, it resulted in Florida firing coach Will Muschamp, effective at the end of the season. The Gators knew this was a possibility regardless of last week’s result, and it won’t change the likelihood they win this week against Eastern Kentucky or lose in Week 14 to Florida State. Nonetheless, there are few things that serve as greater strains on a team’s momentum than a bad loss and a coach getting fired. Florida experienced both in a three-day span, and that’s not easy to overcome.

14. Kentucky: Let everything you just read about Florida soak in, then appreciate just how bad things must be in Kentucky for the Wildcats to be slotted behind the Gators. Kentucky has gone from a 5-1 record to below-500, losing five straight SEC games by double figures. The only other team to do that this season is Vanderbilt, which has spent most of the season at No. 14 in these rankings. Kentucky has lost its last two games by more than 30 points apiece, and it’s allowed 113 points in those two games (that’s not a typo). The Wildcats are fortunate to have an open date this week, because a loss to Louisville in the season finale would be crushing in more ways than one. Not only would they lose to their arch-nemesis, but they’d cap one of the worst collapses in program history, missing out on a bowl berth they desperately need.
