Here’s what we learned about every SEC East team following Week 14 action.

RELATED: AP Poll | Coaches’ Poll

FLORIDA GATORS

Week 14 result: Lost to Florida State 24-19
What we learned: The Gators loss to Florida State on Saturday proved there’s not much separating Treon Harris and Jeff Driskel regarding their abilities as passers in the SEC. Granted, Harris has far less experience and far more time to develop than Driskel, but Harris’ 40.6 completion percentage and two interceptions against FSU cost the Gators a game they should have won on the road. The UF defense played lights-out for most of the afternoon, but swapping Harris and Driskel under center really didn’t fix any of Florida’s woes on offense this season.

GEORGIA BULLDOGS

Week 14 result: Lost to Georgia Tech 30-24 (in OT)
What we learned: Georgia taught us that it has elite talent but is far from an elite team in 2014. Simply put, elite teams don’t blow late leads in rivalry games like the Dawgs did in Saturday’s loss to Georgia Tech. They don’t lose multiple conference games to 6-6 teams in the same season, and they don’t lose three regular season games in a division most would consider “down” from recent years. Georgia is obviously loaded with talent, and that talent shined in wins over Auburn and Clemson this season, but the Dawgs never quite lived up to their top 10 ranking in 2014.

KENTUCKY WILDCATS

Week 14 result: Lost to Louisville 44-40
What we learned: Kentucky may have lost its sixth straight game to miss out on bowl eligibility for a fourth straight year, but Saturday’s loss actually taught us something positive about this year’s Wildcats. The Cats are incredibly young, and most young teams begin to fall apart when the going gets tough the way it has for UK in the second half of the season. However, Kentucky showed a tremendous amount of heart and intensity in Saturday’s Governor’s Cup loss to Louisville, and although no one should condone fighting it was also a sign of how much this team was still invested in this season. The Cats’ fire nearly earned them a huge road victory, and that heart will benefit this team as its young talent develops in the coming years.

MISSOURI TIGERS

Week 14 results: Defeated Arkansas 21-14
What we learned: The Tigers proved once and for all they are a worthy champion from the SEC East. Regardless of how they won their 10 games, and despite their embarrassing home loss to Indiana, the Tigers won time and time again against quality teams with an enormous bullseye on their backs. They went on the road and overcame an early deficit to the SEC’s hottest team just to clinch the division. They went 2-0 against an SEC West with more quality teams than any division in history. They overcame numerous doubters and never faltered when many expected them to. It wan’t pretty, but Mizzou’s East title was earned, not given, in 2014.

SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS

Week 14 results: Lost to Clemson 35-17
What we learned: The Gamecocks cemented what we were all thinking as this season progressed: this was Steve Spurrier’s worst team in a decade in Columbia, and the South Carolina defense might have been the worst on a Spurrier-coached team in history. The Gamecocks were housed by their arch-rival, and couldn’t stop a freshman quarterback playing with a torn ACL. The South Carolina offense was fine for much of the year, but a 6-6 record looks pretty pathetic after beginning the year ranked in the top 10 of the preseason polls (it should also be noted South Carolina was lucky to win against Florida and avoid a losing record). The Gamecocks had a chance to pout a positive spin on a rocky season with a win in the Palmetto Bowl, but they did just the opposite to close out a putrid 2014 regular season.

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS

Week 14 results: Defeated Vanderbilt 24-17
What we learned: The Vols’ narrow 24-17 victory over Vanderbilt proved Joshua Dobbs might still be a work in progress and not the superstar we thought he was two weeks ago. Dobbs emerged on the SEC scene with two huge games against two lackluster defenses (South Carolina and Kentucky), neither of which had much film to study in preparing to face Tennessee. In his last two games he’s look much less dynamic and much more average, likely due to adjustments made by opposing defenses with film to study and coaches to trade notes with. Now it’s Dobbs and Tennessee’s turn to adjust heading into their first bowl appearance since 2010. The sophomore is still the right man for the job, but he’s not quite as polished as we previously thought.

VANDERBILT COMMODORES

Week 14 results: Lost to Tennessee 24-17
What we learned: Vanderbilt taught us it has the potential to climb back toward the rest 0f the SEC pack next season based on how it played in a seven-point loss to Tennessee on Saturday. The Commodores hadn’t come within 10 points of an SEC win all season before taking on UT, but they stymied a red-hot Tennessee offense in their most promising showing in conference play this season. Dobbs threw for just 92 yards and the Commodores actually out-gained Tennessee by 10 yards of total offense for the game. Vandy is a young team that now has some positive momentum heading into the offseason, and it proved there is hope going forward for the SEC’s proverbial doormat.
