Could the SEC have four teams in Sunday’s Top 10?

Second-ranked TCU’s narrow escape at Kansas State means the Horned Frogs will stay in the Top 5 and could squeeze Florida out of the Top 10. The Gators dominated Mizzou and freshman quarterback Drew Lock on the road, 21-3.

We’re projecting five SEC teams in Sunday’s poll:
