It is two weeks into the conference schedule, and there are just two unbeaten teams in league play – Ole Miss and Florida.

The Rebels won an overtime thriller against Vanderbilt this past Tuesday and at home versus Arkansas over the weekend. The Gators looked impressive, blowing out Texas A&M on the road and Missouri at home during the week.

LSU is the only team without a win in the SEC, losing this week to South Carolina and Georgia.
