Using numbers as a guide, here are 20 facts to consider heading into Week 13 of the SEC schedule:

PAST INSIDE THE NUMBERS: Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 |Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10 | Week 11 | Week 12

  1. After losing just eight regular-season SEC games during its first three seasons in the conference, Missouri is in danger of losing its seventh conference game of the season this week.
  2. A win this week would give Arkansas its seventh win in 11 games. It took the Razorbacks 26 tries to get its previous seven wins.
  3. Georgia has won 15 of its last 20 games against Georgia Tech, including five of the last six. However, the Yellow Jackets did win last season’s game in overtime.
  4. Kentucky has won an SEC-best 27 consecutive games when leading at the end of the third quarter, which includes a 10-0 record when entering the fourth quarter with a lead under Mark Stoops.
  5. South Carolina has won 21 of its last 23 nonconference games, with the losses during that span coming to Clemson last season and The Citadel last week.
  6. Last week’s win against Charleston Southern secured Alabama‘s eighth consecutive 10-win season, which is the third longest of such streaks since 1937 according to the Alabama SID office. Nick Saban is looking for his seventh 11-win season with the Crimson Tide.
  7. Tennessee has won 30 of its last 33 meetings with Vanderbilt, but the Commodores have won two of the last three games.
  8. No matter whether the Rebels win or lose in the Egg Bowl this weekend, Ole Miss has already secured back-to-back winning conference records for the first time since 1989-90 with a 5-2 record in league play this season.
  9. Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott has accounted for 21 touchdowns during the Bulldogs’ last five games, a number which is best in the nation for that time span.
  10. Florida coach Jim McElwain is one of just 10 coaches in SEC history to record a 10-win season in his first year on the job.
  11. LSU has won 24 consecutive games during which the Tigers have rushed for at least 200 yards, so it should be no surprise that Leonard Fournette and the LSU running backs have fallen short of that total during the current three-game losing streak.
  12. Vanderbilt ranks 128th out of 128 FBS teams in scoring offense with just 14.0 points per game. Missouri (14.5) hasn’t faired much better, checking in at 126th on the list.
  13. Florida WR Antonio Callaway is just 74 yards shy of reaching the Gators’ record for receiving yards by a freshman, a record which is held by Reidel Anthony (615 yards in 1994).
  14. Texas A&M’s Week 12 shutout of Vanderbilt was the first time the Aggies have blanked an opponent while playing outside of the state of Texas in 40 years.
  15. Missouri LB Kentrell Brothers leads the nation with 140 tackles on the season, which is nine more than his nearest FBS competitor. He has reached 10 or more tackles in 10 of the Tigers’ 11 games this season.
  16. Auburn ranks third in the nation in both kickoff returns allowed (15) and punt returns allowed (five). The combined number of returns (20) is the lowest in the nation.
  17. Alabama has won 59 consecutive games against unranked opponents. Auburn comes into the Iron Bowl unranked with a 6-5 record.
  18. Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly is in the midst of rewriting the Rebels record book, already staking claim to single-season records for total yards (3,857), total touchdowns (34) and 300-yard passing games (seven).
  19. LSU is 48-6 in night games at Tiger Stadium under Les Miles, and the Tigers have never lost back-to-back home games under his direction.
  20. Mississippi State WR Fred Ross is the first player in Bulldogs history to record 100-yard receiving performances in three consecutive games.
