The SEC is a wild place, where a team’s chances at a division crown or playoff berth, or a coach’s job security, can vary widely week to week. Whose stock is rising and whose is dropping as we wrap up bowl season in the SEC East? Let’s take a look.

RISING

Tennessee: After an early season run of disappointment, the Volunteers finished the season on a six-game winning streak after a 45-6 Outback Bowl pasting of Northwestern. Seventeen players who started that game are eligible to return next fall, and coach Butch Jones and his staff are working on a recruiting class that should finish inside the top 20 nationally. The buzz for the Vols as the early SEC East favorite is building, and it’s easy to see why.

Georgia WR Terry Godwin: There’s a bit of uncertainty around the Georgia program as it transitions from Mark Richt to Kirby Smart. But perhaps we can add Terry Godwin’s name to the list of known quantities for 2016. The former five-star recruit showed off his skills in the 24-17 TaxSlayer Bowl win over Penn State, tossing a touchdown pass and hauling in another. He finished the season as the Bulldogs’ second-leading receiver (35 for 379 yards, 2 TD) and seems poised to become the primary target for a yet-to-be-determined quarterback next season.

Georgia safety Dominick Sanders: Like Godwin, Sanders finished off a solid season with a bang in the bowl game. He collected his sixth interception of the season, pushing him to the top of the SEC in that category. The rising junior already has nine interceptions in his career, seven short of tying the school record of 16 shared by Jake Scott and Bacarri Rambo.

South Carolina’s coaching staff: If you’re not participating in a bowl game, you better be making noise on the recruiting trail. Will Muschamp and his staff have been doing just that. On Saturday, the Gamecocks landed a commitment from Cavin Ridley, the younger brother of Alabama’s Calvin Ridley, at the Under Armour All-America Game. Ridley is the 19th player to sign or commit for South Carolina in this recruiting cycle — and the fourth in the last 10 days.

FALLING

Florida QB Treon Harris: Harris continued his struggles in the Citrus Bowl loss to Michigan, completing only 8 of his 21 passes for 146 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. It was his third-straight game with a negative touchdown-to-interception ratio and the fourth game in a row in which he failed to top the 50-percent completion mark. Florida still had a fine season, but addressing the quarterback position in the spring will be near the top of coach Jim McElwain’s to-do list.

Georgia QB Greyson Lambert: He wasn’t terrible in the bowl game. He just wasn’t great, either. Lambert was 10 of 20 for 115 yards and a score, but failed to take advantage of a Penn State defense that was crowding the box in an effort to hold up against the Bulldogs’ rushing attack. With a new coaching staff and five-star QB Jacob Eason heading to Athens, one can’t help but wonder if Lambert has started his last game for Georgia.
