The SEC East race seemingly became wrapped up in Week 9, and one team has clearly emerged as the top challenger to the other division's preeminent program.
With six games on the slate, Auburn and Florida stood out as the two most notable teams in Week 9. The Tigers won their fifth straight contest by going into Oxford and holding off the Mississippi Rebels 40-29. Meanwhile, Florida extended its SEC East lead with a 24-10 triumph over rival Georgia as Tennessee dropped a 24-21 shocker to South Carolina.
Auburn appears to be a complete team behind a power rushing attack and phenomenal defense, while Florida is simply outlasting everyone else in its division by avoiding any bad losses.
