Week 6 is nearly upon us and we’re almost midway through the college football season. By this time, we’ve been able to see multiple games from every team and properly assess exactly where they fall within the SEC.

Not only are every team’s strengths shining through at this point, but each SEC team’s flaws are also very prevalent. So what’s the biggest flaw of every SEC team so far in 2014? SDS breaks it down.

Alabama Crimson Tide
Record: 4-0 (1-0)
Biggest flaw: TO margin. Currently, the Crimson Tide are tied for the lowest amount of turnovers forced with just four on the season and they have the second-lowest turnover margin at minus-3. Fortunately for Alabama, the low turnover margin hasn’t hurt them yet, but that kind of luck won’t be sustainable through the season. As talented as Alabama is on both sides of the ball this season, turnovers can be the ultimate equalizer and a negative turnover margin will eventually cost them against the more talented teams left on their schedule.

Arkansas Razorbacks
Record: 3-2 (0-2)
Biggest flaw: Pass rush. This may come as a surprise considering the talent the Razorbacks possess on the defensive line: Trey Flowers, Taiwan Johnson, Darius Philon, Deatrich Wise and Bijhon Jackson. However, Arkansas has really failed to achieve a consistent pass rush against opponents this season. They currently have eight sacks in five games, which gives the Hogs the second-lowest sack per game average in the SEC. Six of those eight sacks came against a Nicholls State team that’s a mid-level FCS squad. A more consistent pass rush would not only help limit big plays in the passing game, but it would help bail out a questionable Hogs secondary.

Auburn Tigers
Record: 4-0 (1-0)
Biggest flaw: Passing attack. Before the season, head coach Gus Malzahn wanted more balance in this year’s offense. Well so far this season he hasn’t gotten the balance he asked for. Auburn currently ranks 116th in the nation with just 98 passing attempts and 88th in the nation with 878 passing yards. Nick Marshall has struggled to be consistent and one of his main targets, Sammie Coates, has been hobbled by a knee injury. JUCO transfer Duke Williams has held down the receiving side of things while Coates works back to 100 percent, but once both are fully healthy Auburn needs to become more dynamic in the passing game in order to repeat last year’s success in the SEC.

Florida Gators
Record: 2-1 (1-1)
Biggest flaw: Secondary. Quarterback Jeff Driskel is the other obvious choice here, but the secondary has been the biggest flaw for the Gators in 2014. Despite a 4-8 record last year, Florida’s pass defense ranked first in the SEC and was expected to be strong again this season. However, thanks to numerous communication breakdowns in their last two games, Florida has given up 818 passing yards against Kentucky and Alabama. We’ve seen the Gators have success despite a stagnant offense, but if this year’s defense can’t replicate its past success than Florida will have some serious issues later this season.

Georgia Bulldogs
Record: 3-1 (1-1)
Biggest flaw: Quarterback. It’s safe to say that Hutson Mason has underwhelmed this season. He’s a fifth-year senior but his inexperience as a starting quarterback has become evident throughout these first several weeks. The arm strength isn’t quite there and the lack of playmakers has really hurt Georgia’s overall passing attack. With some of the team’s top receivers finally returning from injury, we’ll have to see if that’s what turns things around for Mason and the passing game, but Georgia fans can’t have enjoyed what they’ve seen so far our their starting quarterback.

Kentucky Wildcats
Record: 3-1 (1-1)
Biggest flaw: Offensive line. The Wildcats have been a pleasant surprise this season as they seemed to have progress faster than most people expected. No longer the bottom-feeder of the SEC East, Kentucky is looking to make a statement within the division this season. However, with several top-notch pass rushing teams in the SEC, Kentucky’s offensive line will need to make some stark improvements in their remaining games. The Wildcats are 13th in the conference with 11 sacks allowed in just four games. Quarterback Patrick Towles looks much improved this year, but he may not survive the season if he keeps taking hits in the backfield.

LSU Tigers
Record: 4-1 (0-1)
Biggest flaw: Quarterback play. This is an issue that may be remedied in the near future with the replacement of Anthony Jennings in favor of Brandon Harris. However, there’s no question that the quarterback play has held back LSU this season. Harris has looked strong in his limited time on the field, but as a true freshman starting quarterback in the SEC, there’s no telling how he’ll perform on the field against first-string SEC defenses.

Mississippi State Bulldogs
Record: 5-0 (2-0)
Biggest flaw: Pass defense. Mississippi State looks poised to make a big run in the SEC West this season behind quarterback Dak Prescott, but the secondary for the Bulldogs may keep them from winning the division. Mississippi State possesses the SEC’s worst pass defense by a wide margin. They currently allow 319 passing yards per game, just over 32 yards more than the next worst team. Based off early season performance, it’s doubtful Mississippi State’s pass defense will be able to hold its ground against high-powered SEC passing games like Texas A&M, Alabama and Ole Miss.

Missouri Tigers
Record: 4-1 (1-0)
Biggest flaw: Rush defense. Missouri’s defense is incredibly strong in the pass rush, thanks to Markus Golden and Shane Ray, but the Tigers’ rush defense has struggled this season. The numbers won’t blow you away as Missouri is only eighth in the SEC surrendering 143.2 rushing yards per game. However, the Tigers have allowed four 100-yard rushers in their five games this season. They looked the worst against Indiana who blew them away for 241 rushing yards in the Hoosiers’ upset victory. With both Arkansas and Georgia – the SEC’s top two rushing offenses – remaining on the schedule, it’s an area that must improve quickly for Missouri who currently leads the SEC East race.

Ole Miss Rebels
Record: 4-0 (1-0)
Biggest flaw: Penalties. In just four games Ole Miss has racked up 33 penalties for an average of just over eight penalties per game. So far, it hasn’t hurt the Rebels as they are still undefeated, but they’ve been largely untested this season. Once they go through the gauntlet of the SEC West, there’s no question that costly mistakes and mental errors such as penalties could have a huge impact on the outcome of their games. It’s an issue that needs to be resolved quickly if this is the year Ole Miss finally makes a serious run for Atlanta.

South Carolina Gamecocks
Record: 3-2 (2-2)
Biggest flaw: Pass rush. After losing three starters along the defensive l, including two All-Americans, it’s not a huge surprise that South Carolina’s pass rush is struggling this season. The Gamecocks have tallied just six sacks in five games, giving them the worst average in the SEC. In addition, the secondary is also a young, inexperienced group so the lack of pass rush has helped contribute to the pass defense issues the Gamecocks have endured through their first five games. South Carolina was able to take advantage of a weak Missouri offensive line last week by racking up two sacks, so they’ll need to keep the momentum going here in week six.

Tennessee Volunteers
Record: 2-2 (0-1)
Biggest flaw: Offensive line. The Vols lost all five starters from last season and then suffered a season-ending injury to Jacob Gilliam early in the season, thinning out their offensive line depth even more. Tennessee has allowed a SEC-high 12 sacks this season, which has led to an average passing attack. Senior quarterback Justin Worley looks much better this season, but if he can’t get the protection needed in the backfield, his impact can quickly diminish as the season progresses.

Texas A&M Aggies
Record: 5-0 (2-0)
Biggest flaw: Rushing defense. Give credit to the Aggies for getting some huge stops on defense in the second half against Arkansas, fueling their comeback win. However, rush defense has been an overall issue for Texas A&M dating back to last season where the Aggies ranked last in the SEC. This season, the Aggies have improved but their rush defense still remains a liability. They surrendered 240 yards to Rice earlier in the season and 285 yards to Arkansas last week. South Carolina was unable to do much on the ground against the Aggies, but that was largely due to the Gamecocks abandoning the run early in the game to try and keep up with Texas A&M on the scoreboard. With four of the SEC’s top six rushing offenses left of the Aggies’ schedule, their rushing defense will be tested multiple times by the end of the year.

Vanderbilt Commodores
Record: 1-4 (0-3)
Biggest flaw: Scoring offense. Vanderbilt’s offense is the worst in the SEC and there’s no debate. The Commodores average just 17 points per game and have yet to find any consistency at quarterback. In the team’s lone win against UMass, Vanderbilt was able to come back on the Minutemen, thanks to two touchdowns via defense and special teams. Until the offense is able to put points on the board, the losses will continue to pile up for Derek Mason’s squad.
