Another week of exciting SEC Football action is in the books. There were several exciting conference games this week. Georgia squeaked by Missouri with a one point victory on a fourth quarter touchdown throw from Jacob Eason to Isaiah McKenzie. Alabama narrowly beat Ole Miss in a roller coaster ride of a game.

In addition, Mississippi State’s late rally almost led to a Bulldog victory over the LSU Tigers but fell just short. Meanwhile, in Auburn the Myles Garrett and the Texas A&M Aggies flexed their muscles against an anemic Auburn offense.

Also, there were a few obligatory trips to the bakery for some cupcakes. Tennessee again struggled against their cupcake, the University of Ohio Bobcats, but did manage to ultimately pull out a victory. South Carolina had a rough time with Eastern Carolina, before winning 20-15. Kentucky also struggled against New Mexico State. But the Wildcats got their first win of the season, 62-42.

Arkansas and Florida, by contrast, feasted. The Hogs spanked Texas State by a score of 42-3. Florida meanwhile, smothered the life out of North Texas, winning 32-0. Finally, brave little Vandy got whipped by Georgia Tech in the only Power Five out of conference game this week, losing by a score of 38-7.
