We’re going to dedicate our weekly SEC power rankings to the Bee Gees. Why? A good chunk of the SEC found itself “Stayin’ Alive” in Week 4.

Sure, there were some highlights. But mostly, there was a fair amount of football that was just good enough to avoid disaster. Which means we find ourselves ranking near-disasters. We rate teams not on where they’ll end up, or on the competition they’ve played — we go by what we see, nothing more or less. Accordingly, your Week 4 SEC power rankings.

14. Missouri (1-3, lost to Auburn 51-14)

The Tigers are the worst team in the SEC and the margin isn’t close. They can’t stop anybody and when they get outside of the FCS realm, their offense looks pretty pedestrian. How patient will Missouri fans be? Based on their attendance, not very.

13. Arkansas (1-2, lost to Texas A&M 50-43, OT)

Granted, somebody had to look really bad losing this game. The Razorbacks took it on the chin. Against an A&M team that was hardly an offensive dynamo, Arkansas jumped out to a 21-7 lead. And after they blew that, they took a 28-24 lead. And after they blew that, they took a 36-33 lead … and then a 43-40 lead. And then they lost in overtime. Arkansas’ offense hasn’t been impressive. The Hogs racked up 43 points … and still managed to lose. For the time being, they’re in the cellar of the West.

12. Ole Miss (2-1, idle)

The Rebels slide a bit by not playing, just because Auburn and A&M looked OK this week. The Rebels are one of the most fun teams to watch in college football, but they’re not going to be very good.

11. Tennessee (3-1, beat UMass 17-13)

Don’t be fooled by a 3-1 record. This Tennessee team is in prime position to get boat-raced by Georgia next week. John Kelly got 100 rushing yards again … and UT ended up with 319 yards against an 0-5 UMass team that has lost to Hawaii, Coastal Carolina, Old Dominion and Temple. If you told Vols fans they’d be 3-1 after four weeks, they probably could’ve accepted that. It’s the complete lack of leadership and identity that has to ring the alarm bells for Butch Jones’ future.

10. South Carolina (3-1, beat La. Tech 17-16)

Again, the result was what everyone expected … the means of getting there was, well, shaky. When Jake Bentley leads a last minute drive to set up a kicker who was previously 0-for-4 on the year on field goals, Gamecocks fans can be forgiven for being nervous. Carolina’s offense struggled to score without Deebo Samuel, which makes the SEC schedule look pretty treacherous.

9. Kentucky (3-1, lost to Florida 28-27)

Kentucky has to avoid mental mistakes like the ones that beat them against Florida. Alabama or Georgia can get by with some of that stuff. Not Kentucky. Two easy home games follow, and maybe getting linebacker Jordan Jones back will help UK in the back end of its SEC schedule.

8. Texas A&M (3-1, beat Arkansas 50-43, OT)

A&M has been slowly cobbling together an identity behind freshman QB Kellen Mond. They fell behind early this week but didn’t quit. Irony of ironies, could Kevin Sumlin keep his job based on a team that starts off unimpressive and rallies to put together a decent season?

7. LSU (3-1, beat Syracuse 35-26)

The good news for LSU is that they won and Danny Etling played much better than he did last week. The bad news is that the narrative will continue that LSU beats bad teams and loses to good teams badly. The only way to prove it wrong will be to beat a good team.

6. Florida (2-1, beat Kentucky 28-27)

Florida is a botched coverage and a random holding call from being very plausibly 0-3. But surviving counts for something, especially in the East. It’ll be interesting to see if Luke Del Rio starts next week against Vanderbilt or this was just a one-off substitution, but the Gators aren’t world-beaters either way.

5. Vanderbilt (3-1, lost to Alabama 59-0)

Well, we knew they’d fall, and we’re not counting this one against Alabama, although that 677-78 total yardage differential is more than a bit troubling. This was never a game that was within the realm of possibility for Vanderbilt. Florida and Georgia the next two weeks won’t be easy, but if Vandy can win either game, it’ll remain a factor in the East.

4. Auburn (3-1, beat Missouri 51-14)

After looking awful offensively, the Tigers showed up in a big way with 31 first-half points at Mizzou. The bad news is that most defenses they will face are considerably better than Mizzou. Much like LSU, the narrative will be that Auburn can’t beat a good team. The Mississippi State game next week could flip these two schools very easily.

3. Mississippi State (3-1, lost to Georgia 31-3)

This is a disconcerting loss for the Bulldogs, because it suggests that just as good as they were against LSU, they can be bad on the road against a good team. The good news is that there aren’t that many good teams in the SEC.

2. Georgia (4-0, beat Mississippi State 31-3)

With a chance to make a statement, Georgia made it. Offensively, the Dawgs ran well and made the passing game work whenever they needed it. Defensively, they gave State nothing and looked good doing it. In a mediocre East, Georgia stands out almost as much as Bama does in the West.

1. Alabama (4-0, beat Vanderbilt 59-0)

This is the Alabama we know and either love or cower in fear of. Outgaining the opponent by 600 yards. Giving up a long play of 10 yards for the entire game. Much like last season, it’s easy to wonder if an all-star team of the other 13 teams could beat Alabama. We’ll never know, but nobody else looks very likely to do it short of the CFP.
