Florida, LSU rise in Week 4 2023 SEC football power rankings

14. Vanderbilt Commodores

Previous Ranking: 14

We begin this week’s update with Vanderbilt, who remains at No. 14 after their 40-37 road loss at UNLV. After originally jumping out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, the Commodores would go on to be outscored across the remainder of the contest a combined 40-27.

Now sitting at 2-2 overall this season, Vanderbilt will open SEC football action this week at home against Kentucky.

13. Mississippi State Bulldogs

Previous Ranking: 10

One of the biggest teams to fall this week was Mississippi State, as the Bulldogs dropped three spots from No. 10 to No. 13 as a result of their 41-14 home loss to LSU. Never leading Saturday, the Bulldogs would trail 24-7 at halftime, and would be out-gained in total yardage by LSU, 530-201.

Now 0-1 in SEC play, as well as 2-1 overall, Mississippi State will travel for the first time this week to South Carolina.
