Kentucky and Florida are both looking to bounce back in Week 8 after suffering tough conference losses in Week 7. Kentucky fell to Vanderbilt at home, while Florida lost in OT to Tennessee.
Speaking of Tennessee, things don’t get any easier for the Vols in Week 8. Fresh off of the Florida game, the Vols will look to keep the momentum going against the Tide. South Carolina and Oklahoma also both lost in Week 7, so both teams will be desperate for a win. LSU heads to Arkansas after defeating Ole Miss.
Georgia at Texas will have a ton of eyes on it. The top-5 matchup will have SEC Championship and College Football Playoff implications. Texas A&M looks to stay rolling against Mississippi State, while Auburn desperately tries for an SEC win against Missouri.
Finally, Vanderbilt will get a break this weekend, getting to play Ball State after wins over Alabama and Kentucky.
