The SEC East — along with Mississippi State — took a few serious shots to body from rivals on Saturday, damaging the league’s chances at multiple teams in the inaugural College Football Playoff.

Ole Miss provided payback in the Egg Bowl against the fourth-ranked Bulldogs while Clemson, Georgia Tech, Florida State and Louisville all knocked off SEC competition from the East.

Alabama, the committee’s top-ranked team, survived Auburn’s best shot in the Iron Bowl with a masterful performance from Amari Cooper.

Here’s our best guess at how Sunday’s new Associated Press Top 25 will look. We’ve included last week’s rankings as a guide.
