Four SEC teams were off in Week 9, but several more played like they might as well have been off their game. As usual, we consider where your favorite team is and where they’re going, and project each SEC team’s final regular-season record, this time after SEC Week 9.

SEC West

Alabama: 12-0

We might go back and forth on the Alabama/LSU matchup until the second it’s played. This week, we’ll edge on the Tide’s side, but anything could happen. And if Auburn can figure out any semblance of an offense, that Iron Bowl might be a bit entertaining, too.

Arkansas: 3-9

Not sure they’ll beat Western Kentucky, either. Tough, tough year for the Razorbacks.

Auburn: 8-4

The Tigers’ passing game has been incredibly hit and miss, and while hitting in the opener against Auburn probably saved the trajectory of the season (and Gus’ job), it’s hard to pick them to beat UGA or Alabama without seeing some improvement from Bo Nix in the passing game.

LSU: 11-1

Still plenty of meat left on the LSU schedule, and will surviving Auburn was a good start, they’ll have to dig deep to take down the Tide in Tuscaloosa.

Mississippi State: 6-6

State’s season will probably come down to the Egg Bowl. They should be good for wins against Arkansas and Abilene Christian, but at this point, it’s a toss-up against the Rebels, even in Starkville. We’ll take the optimistic view.

Ole Miss: 4-8

While we’ll take the Rebels against New Mexico State and give them a chance at Mississippi State, we can’t see a 6th win for Matt Luke’s team, which does give them a fair amount of SEC company.

Texas A&M: 7-5

We’ll take wins over Texas San-Antonio and South Carolina, but Georgia and LSU don’t look like fun matchups. Still, 7 wins in the SEC this year will situation the Aggies in pretty decent company come bowl selection time.

SEC East

Florida: 10-2

Even if Florida’s luck finally runs out next week, they look solid as a 10-win team. Considering the way the Gators opened this season, this might qualify as Dan Mullen’s best coaching job yet.

Georgia: 11-1

Auburn could be a challenge, and Florida/Georgia is absolutely anybody’s game, but Georgia’s path to the SEC Championship Game is very much in their own hands.

Kentucky: 7-5

Can Kentucky keep winning games without an actual quarterback? Well, it’s working out so far, and the November schedule isn’t exactly daunting.

Missouri: 7-5

If you can’t beat Vandy and Kentucky, you can’t beat Georgia or Florida. Honestly, UT and Arkansas don’t look as beatable as they did 2 weeks ago. But for now … we’ll stick here.

South Carolina: 5-7

The loss in Knoxville makes it hard to predict this Carolina team going bowling. They can’t beat Clemson, and winning at College Station looks tough. Meanwhile, even if Carolina does win there, Appalachian State is far from a lock. Finishing 4-8 might be more likely than 6-6.

Tennessee: 5-7

On the other hand, the Vols are much more likely to reach 6 wins than to fall shy of this prediction. UAB and Vandy at home ought to be victories, and Kentucky and Mizzou are far from unbeatable. Still, for the moment, we’ll stay conservative.

Vanderbilt: 3-9

ETSU will be a win, but it’s not clear how many other real opportunities Vandy will have to grab another win.
