Here’s what we learned about every SEC East team following Week 10 action.

FLORIDA GATORS

Week 10 result: Defeated Georgia 38-20
What we learned: What did we learn about Florida this week? Where do we even begin? We learned this team has not quit on coach Will Muschamp, and that it’s not going to roll over and give opponents an easy victory the rest of the season. We learned this team is capable of winning games despite the lack of a playmaking quarterback (Treon Harris played fine but he was far from the reason UF won this game). We learned Florida still has great individual talents all over its roster, and that it will remain a force to be reckoned with the rest of the year. Entering the game, we thought the Gators were dead men walking, but today they appear to be feisty underdogs with a chip on their shoulders.

GEORGIA BULLDOGS

Week 10 result: Lost to Florida 38-20
What we learned: The Bulldogs’ loss to Florida taught us this team is not a championship-caliber team after all. Most fans and experts were willing to look past Georgia’s early loss to a woeful South Carolina team, but the loss to Florida, especially in such a convincing manner, showed UGA’s true colors. Hutson Mason is not a leader at quarterback, and coach Mark Richt’s team looked inexcusably flat on both sides of the ball in an embarrassing loss on a national stage. The Bulldogs now have two losses and no shot at a playoff berth this season. Heck, they’re not even in control of the pitiful SEC East anymore. Georgia taught us every game counts, and that it wasn’t deserving of its title considerations all along.

KENTUCKY WILDCATS

Week 10 result: Lost to Missouri 20-10
What we learned: Kentucky taught us that it is still too raw and too inexperienced to win SEC games away from home. When Kentucky has played at home, it is 5-1 with an impressive showing in a loss to No. 1 Mississippi State. On the road, it’s 0-3 with three ugly losses to Florida, LSU and now Missouri. The Wildcats looked like a totally different team Saturday against Mizzou, and all that really changed was the setting of the game. The offense was out of sync all afternoon, beginning with quarterback Patrick Towles, and the defense was good but not exceptional against a dreadful Tigers offense. Had the game been played in Kentucky, the Cats might have won. Unfortunately, Kentucky can’t host all 12 of its games every year, and part of its ongoing maturation process is learning to win on the road. We learned Saturday that Kentucky has not learned how to win away from home just yet.

MISSOURI TIGERS

Week 10 results: Defeated Kentucky 20-10
What we learned: Missouri taught us the same lesson Bill Parcells tried to teach football fans years ago: “You are as good as your record says you are.” Missouri has hardly looked impressive in SEC play this season, yet it’s 7-2 on the season and 4-1 in the SEC, and it now controls its own destiny to repeat as the East Division champion. Missouri taught us that winning ugly is still winning, and as long as Missouri’s dominant defensive line can continue to control the line of scrimmage it’ll have a chance to win every game it’s in from here on out.

SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS

Week 10 results: Lost to Tennessee 45-42 (OT)
What we learned: South Carolina taught us that football games are indeed 60 minutes long, although the Gamecocks may need a refresher course on that principle after Saturday’s loss to Tennessee. South Carolina has now lost three games this year in which it has held leads of 13 or more in the fourth quarter, and Saturday’s loss to the Vols was the worst of the bunch. The Gamecocks led by 14 inside of two minutes remaining, but still managed to lose by a field goal in overtime, dropping them below-500 after beginning the year ranked No. 9 in the nation. The loss may have been the worst of the Spurrier era in Columbia, and it taught us this team has not made the necessary adjustments to close out games, which could keep it out of a bowl game this winter.

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS

Week 10 results: Defeated South Carolina 45-42 (OT)
What we learned: We learned the Vols have a future with Josh Dobbs at quarterback following their thrilling come-from-behind win over South Carolina on Saturday. Dobbs was impressive in defeat against a tough Alabama defense, and one week later he was even more impressive in taking down the Gamecocks in Columbia. Tennessee has three winnable games remaining and needs just two wins to reach a bowl game for the first time since Lane Kiffin was the head coach. Dobbs’ dual-threat abilities may be just what UT needs to make a run to the postseason, which would also represent a huge step forward for a Tennessee program hoping to eventually return to power in the SEC.

VANDERBILT COMMODORES

Week 10 results: Defeated Old Dominion 42-28
What we learned: Like with Tennessee, Vanderbilt taught us it has a future with freshman Johnny McCrary at quarterback. The Commodores gave Missouri a tough test in McCrary’s first career start in Week 9 (on the road no less), and he led Vandy to 42 points in a Week 10 win, albeit over Old Dominion. The Commodores hadn’t scored more than 34 points in a game until McCrary took over, and he has plenty of time left to develop with the rest of Vandy’s star freshman, including Ralph Webb and C.J. Duncan. The Commodores won’t go bowling this season, but the sky may no longer be falling in Nashville with McCrary under center.
