At the conference HQ, Team Speed Kills, we're power-ranking the SEC. Here's this week's ballot.
In a week where most of the conference had to scrape by, there was one overarching theme: survival. By any means necessary, just get past the team in front of you currently and make it to next week without an L. Obviously, some teams were more successful than others in this endeavor, but that's life in the SEC. It may not always be flashy, but you must always focus on staying alive.
1. Alabama Crimson Tide - The only things standing between the Tide and a trip to the Playoff are Florida and an Auburn team that totally definitely has not been sandbagging their season since week one so they can burn down the entire state by rolling on Bama in the Iron Bowl.
