Week 4 SEC Power Ranking: Big Move From MSU, Ole Miss No. 1

Many “adjustments” occurred in Week 3 as the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Arkansas Razorbacks made the greatest climbs as LSU, Missouri and Florida dropped back.

The biggest matchup by far was the MSU-LSU contest. The Dawgs went into Death Valley where they hadn’t won since 1991 and “manhandled” LSU throughout the entire game. It was clearly one of MSU’s biggest wins in the history of the school! Basically they have destroyed LSU’s season by exposing many weaknesses and have eliminated the Bengals from any possibility to win the West. On the other hand, the Dawgs are for real! My hat is off to them as it’s always enjoyable to see a sound underdog prevail in such a convincing way. Hail State!
Getting back to the rest of the league, Ole Miss was off so now the Rebs enter the most difficult part of their schedule starting with Memphis. A&M continued to roll over nonranked SMU and Bama looked so-so defeating the weakest Gator team in memory. Auburn struggled on the road, but won and Arkansas continues to improve. Their match-up this week against A&M will be the featured league game.
In summary, the “dog pound” was rocking in Starkville and heads lowered in Tigerland. This is what makes college football so outstanding. You just never know!
