Did the Alabama Crimson Tide remain No. 1 in the All for Tennessee SEC Power Rankings for Week 2, or were they caught by Texas A&M or Auburn? Find out here.


With Week One of SEC Football in the books, fans of the conference probably feel queasy given all of the cupcakes they ingested. After all, cupcakes were 90 percent of the opponents of teams in the conference this week.

And that can make doing the SEC Power Ranking s a bit tricky.

Looking at these rankings going into Week Two, All for Tennessee had to take into account preseason predictions to differentiate among some of the teams. It was simply too hard to tell just how good some teams were given how easy their opponents were.

And yes, some teams got bonus points for playing tougher competition, which you’ll see.

But to even make this trickier, one of the elite teams, the LSU Tigers, had to cancel their game due to a series of storms that delayed it by four hours initially. There were one of multiple teams that dealt with serious lightning on Saturday, which was also odd.

In non-conference play with limited samples, the SEC at least had the best showing of any major conference this past weekend, going 13-1 overall, and it should have been 14-0.

They went undefeated against other Power Five schools, and there were multiple match-ups against elite teams in other conferences. So while this weekend did not leave us much to analyze, we can do it a bit.

And that is what we will try. The most important factor in these power rankings is obviously who a team beat. Then comes how well they played the entire game, and the final thing if we have nothing is where they ranked in the preseason.

With those factors, let’s take a look at the Week Two SEC Power Rankings.
