The Tennessee Volunteers remained near the bottom of our SEC Power Rankings following Week 4 of the 2018 college football season.

The good news is we now have a solid read on where teams belong in our SEC Power Rankings. But at least for Rocky Top, the bad news is the Tennessee Vols are nowhere near even the middle tier of those rankings.

Yes, UT’s 47-21 blowout loss to the Florida Gators Saturday had a huge impact on our rankings for this week. But it’s not the only game that stood out. There was one major upset that catapulted a team and another one that let us know where one program truly stands.

The only thing that’s clear-cut, though, in our SEC Power Rankings are the bottom two teams. You could even have a legitimate debate over who belongs at the top, even if there is a general consensus on that.

But after four weeks, teams are firmly supplanted within their current vicinity. It’ll take some dramatic games and upsets to move them around. And while those will inevitably happen, what you’re seeing now is the first hint of what you could be seeing at the end of the year.

With four undefeated teams, two in each division, and six Top 25 teams overall, the conference is as tough as ever. Add in the fact that only four teams have more than one loss, and you’ve got a brutal collection of teams ready to beat each other up down the stretch of the year.

So what does the league look like now that every team has played one game? How much trouble are certain teams in? Who’s at the top? Take a look here with our SEC Power Rankings following Week 4 of the 2018 season.
