It was a survive-and-advance weekend for several SEC teams on Saturday, as numerous ranked teams found themselves in early-season battles.
There were four conference matchups on the Week 3 slate, and each game was pretty tight. No. 1 Alabama pulled out a wild 48-43 win over over No. 19 Mississippi, while No. 16 Georgia won 28-27 at Missouri and No. 20 LSU held on for 23-20 win over Mississippi State. No. 17 Texas A&M had the easiest time with a 29-16 win at Auburn, but the Tigers defense kept the game close until late down on the Plains.
