Based on the Associated Press Top 25, we learned something extremely important about the SEC.

Nobody can touch it.

With 8 teams in the AP Top 25 and the top 2 teams overall, nobody can get close to the SEC right now. With 5 teams from the SEC West ranked, no other Power 5 conference even has that many Top 25 teams. Goodness.

But what did we learn about each SEC team in Week 6? I’m glad you/I asked:

Alabama: The secondary has real issues … that probably won’t matter

Well, Nick Saban certainly didn’t have to ask the media to make up anything to criticize his team for. Against Ty Storey and the Arkansas passing game, the Tide looked like far from a finished product. This is still a relatively inexperienced group, and it’s showing. Alabama allowed 233 passing yards and struggled against a unit that many expected to dominate. Since shutting down Jordan Ta’amu, Saban’s secondary hasn’t been a finished product.

“I thought we played a little bit better for awhile — we scored 65 points, can’t complain too much on offense, but defensively, we didn’t execute very well,” Saban said. “You have to give them a lot of credit for the job they did, but still disappointing that we aren’t making the improvement we’d like on that side of the ball.”

Arkansas: Ty Storey ain’t scared

You can always tell the quarterbacks who hear footsteps. Credit Storey, who hung tough all day and made some impressive throws. He even showed off his mobility. Throwing for 233 yards against Alabama showed what many Hog fans knew should be the case. That is, Storey should be the unquestioned starter with a longer leash.

Auburn: The offense wasn’t playing down to its competition

The biggest Auburn offense apologist might have argued that the the Tigers’ offensive struggles were a result of playing down to the competition and not wanting to open it up offensively with a suspect offensive line. But after watching the Tigers get completely shut down against Mississippi State, there’s no doubt that the struggle is real. The ground game again failed to produce a 100-yard rusher and even in a game when Jarrett Stidham was forced to throw, Gus Malzahn couldn’t dial up anything that fooled the Bulldogs. The only good news? Auburn has Tennessee and Ole Miss coming up.

Florida: The Swamp is back

I was in Gainesville for Saturday’s showdown, and let me tell you: It was electric. After Brad Stewart’s pick-6, my ears were ringing. It was as loud as I’ve ever heard a stadium. Period. Dan Mullen couldn’t stop praising the crowd for how intimidating it felt all afternoon. The Gators’ defense provided plenty of reasons to put them into a frenzy, and they generated pressure on Joe Burrow all afternoon. A few weeks removed from watching Kentucky end a 31-year long streak, The Swamp yielded Florida’s first win vs. a Top 5 team at home since 2015.

Georgia: The discipline issues are still there

Elijah Holyfield said it best. Georgia’s 13 penalties were simply “unacceptable.” Racking up 115 penalty yards — there were 3 unsportsmanlike penalty flags — won’t sit well with Kirby Smart. That was a week after his team had some frustrating discipline issues vs. Tennessee. That might fly in comfortable wins against Tennessee and Vanderbilt, but that can’t happen in the 4-game stretch that Georgia has coming up. At least not if the Dawgs want to escape it unscathed.

Kentucky: The dynasty is dead

I say that tongue in cheek because this was a historic start for Kentucky, and for the past few weeks, the Wildcats felt all but unbeatable. Kentucky finally faced a team that contained the running game. Credit Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko for the job that he did to keep the SEC’s top rusher from getting going. With Benny Snell contained, the Wildcats struggled to get much of anything going in the passing game with Terry Wilson. But who would have thought that through 6 weeks, Kentucky’s lone loss was in overtime at Texas A&M. The Cats are still legit in my book.

LSU: There are protection problems

It felt like every time Joe Burrow dropped back to pass, he had backside pressure. Vosean Joseph was borderline unblockable for most of the game, and it seemed like the Florida defense was firing on all cylinders when Burrow dropped back. That wasn’t the best sign for an LSU offensive line that’s had to overcome injuries, but has gotten by so far. Burrow was sacked 3 times, and hurried a bunch. The Tigers used their sixth different offensive line combination in as many games. This group needs some continuity, and it needs it fast with Georgia coming to town.

Mississippi State: The offense is not dead

Hey! Touchdowns at home! What a crazy concept! Credit Joe Moorhead for adjusting and putting the MSU offense in better position to get into a rhythm running the ball. That’s what this offense is. The Bulldogs only passed for 69 yards, yet they beat a top 10 team by 2 touchdowns. Moorhead preached to trust the process all week, and he was rewarded with 349 rushing yards. That was a nice way to head into the bye week before MSU travels to face LSU in Death Valley.

Mizzou: Drew Lock ain’t right

I know. The conditions were bad. Not having Emanuel Hall hurt. I know. But consider this: Lock’s last touchdown pass came in Week 3 in the third quarter against Purdue. That’s roughly 141 minutes without a touchdown pass from someone who set the SEC single-season record in that category last year. We were waiting to see what Lock was going to be able to do in Derek Dooley’s offense. To be honest, the Tigers look better running the ball than they do throwing right now. That’s strange, I know. But Lock’s back-pedaling was bound to get him in trouble. Who know it would be in such horrific fashion.

Ole Miss: Jordan Ta’amu can go the distance

I want to save my Matt Corral opinions for when he has to play a game against an SEC defense in significant reps. But I have no problem firing this one off about Ta’amu. The dude can move better than I thought he could. We really hadn’t seem him use his legs to make a play like that since his first career start last year against Arkansas. Ole Miss could’ve used some of this against Alabama and LSU.

South Carolina: Michael Scarnecchia created a controversy

Welcome to the big time. In place of the injured Jake Bentley, all Scarnecchia did in his first career start was lead a comeback victory to avoid a 1-3 start to SEC play. He threw for 200-plus yards, 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. How many times has Jake Bentley done that? As many as I have. Zero. Now, many are calling for Scarnecchia to be the starter against Texas A&M whether Bentley is healthy or not. It’s hard to argue with that given how he looked running Bryan McClendon’s offense. At the very least, we have a midseason controversy on our hands.

Tennessee: Those losses are at least quality losses

Tennessee was off, but think about this. The Vols’ 3 losses were all to top 15 teams, 2 of which are undefeated and ranked in the top 6. That’s something Jeremy Pruitt will appreciate because it helps show the gap of where his team is at and where it needs to be. The Vols have faced teams capable of exploiting their weaknesses. That’s not going to change with a pair of Top 25 teams coming up in Auburn and Alabama.

Texas A&M: The Aggies can finish a quality opponent

There wasn’t a moral victory up for grabs for either team. While we saw the Aggies hang tough with Clemson and at least do a few things offensively against Alabama in Tuscaloosa, this was still a team whose best quality win was against 1-win Arkansas. Saturday showed that despite the inefficiency on offense, the Aggies still had enough juice left to close out a battle-tested Kentucky time. Trayveon Williams was a big part of that obviously with the game-winner, but besides that, the Aggies relied on him to move the chains. For all the criticism of Kevin Sumlin’s teams’ inability to finish, Saturday had to be a welcome sight for the early part of the Jimbo Fisher era.

Vanderbilt: Kyle Shurmur isn’t better than Jake Fromm

Well, I didn’t learn this. Jordan Rodgers did.

With all due respect to Shurmur, who I do think has an NFL future and would be fascinating to watch on another SEC team, he’s not on Fromm’s level.

Well, I guess I didn’t learn very much from Vandy on Saturday.
