In our third week of play, the SEC is getting fat in the middle already. Only one team is undefeated (#10 Texas A&M) and only one team is winless (Mississippi State). Tennessee is a good example of the league's competitiveness as we almost beat the former and almost got beat by the latter. Nine teams are between 4-2 and 2-4.
We thought coming in Vanderbilt would be part of the SEC's top tier along with Texas A&M and Kentucky. Instead South Carolina's persistence and LSU's resurgence have them staking their claim in that top group, while Vanderbilt stumbled to an 0-3 start before bouncing back against the state of Alabama.
