SEC Football: Missouri, Florida rise in Week 8 2023 power rankings
By Matt Melton
10. Arkansas Razorbacks
Previous Ranking: 10
Remaining at No. 10 are the Arkansas Razorbacks, who dropped their fifth consecutive game by falling on the road at Alabama, 24-21. Despite being out-gained in total yardage, 415-250, the Razorbacks would use a 15-3 advantage in the second half to make things close, but would not be enough to overcome a 21-6 halftime deficit.
With the Razorbacks now sitting at 2-5 overall, as well as last in the SEC West at 0-4 during conference play, Arkansas will return home Saturday for a matchup against Mississippi State.
9. Texas A&M Aggies
Previous Ranking: 7
The first SEC football team to drop this week is Texas A&M down two spots from No. 7 to No. 9, as the Aggies dropped their second-straight game by falling on the road at Tennessee, 20-13. Texas A&M would lead by a score of 10-7 at halftime, but would be outscored in the second half, 13-3, as well as be out-gained in total yardage a combined 332-277.
Texas A&M now enters their bye week at 4-3 overall, as well as 2-2 in SEC play.
