As the weeks progress, the amount of non-conference games start to dwindle.
This past Saturday centered on some big-time conference matchups: Auburn at LSU, Ole Miss at Alabama, Florida at Kentucky, and South Carolina at Georgia. However, there were still six opportunities to prove SEC greatness to non-SEC teams.
Five out of the six teams were able to execute. Arkansas was the lone non-conference loss, making the SEC winless against the Big 12 so far this season.
