SEC Football: LSU, Florida rise in Week 11 2022 power rankings
By Matt Melton
Coming off a week in SEC Football that was headlined by a Top 10 showdown in both Athens and Baton Rouge, which teams rose and fell in our latest 2022 power rankings?
LSU, Florida rise in Week 11 SEC Football power rankings
14. Vanderbilt Commodores
Previous Ranking: 14
Beginning here with Vanderbilt, the Commodores dropped their fifth consecutive game Saturday night, falling at home to South Carolina by a final of 38-27. Remaining in the No. 14 spot, the Commodores never led in the contest, and even held a 31-14 deficit entering halftime, on top of committing four turnovers Saturday.
Still looking for their first SEC Football win of the season, Vanderbilt will travel in Week 11 as the Commodores will take on Kentucky in Lexington. Likely a multiple touchdown underdog going into Saturday, the Commodores will likely have to play a near perfect game in order to leave Lexington with a win.
13. Auburn Tigers
Previous Ranking: 13
In what was the first game of the post-Bryan Harsin era, Auburn also suffered their fourth loss in a row, falling on the road at Mississippi State in overtime by a final of 39-33. After trailing 24-6 at halftime, the Tigers owned the second half by outscoring the Bulldogs a combined 27-9 to force overtime, while also impressing on the ground where they rushed for 256 yards on the ground.
Remaining at No. 13, Auburn will return home this Saturday where the Tigers are set to host Texas A&M. Two teams that have struggled in recent weeks, the Tigers are likely to be a slim underdog in this contest, but could easily end their losing streak against the Aggies should they play similar to the second half Saturday night.
