6. Tennessee Volunteers
Previous Ranking: 6
Even despite dropping their second-straight game this past Saturday with a 38-10 home loss to Georgia, Tennessee remains in the No. 6 spot. A game in which the Volunteers were out-gained in total yardage, 472-277, Tennessee would trail by a score of 24-10 at halftime, as well as be kept off the scoreboard entirely in the second half.
Now sitting at 7-4 overall, as well as 3-4 in SEC play, Tennessee will remain at home Saturday for a matchup against Vanderbilt.
5. Missouri Tigers
Previous Ranking: 5
Remaining at No. 5 is Missouri, as the Tigers won their second-straight game with a 33-31 victory over Florida at home. A game in which the Tigers won due to a 30-yard Harrison Mevis field goal with :05 remaining, Missouri would post 508 yards of total offense, but would struggle at times on defense by allowing 500 yards to Florida.
Now sitting at 9-2 overall, as well as 5-2 in SEC play, Missouri will travel this Friday to Arkansas.
