SEC power rankings and odds for Week 13

Week 12 was cupcake week across the country, but that didn’t mean that the 14 SEC teams got the week off.

Arkansas put a scare into Alabama in Tuscaloosa, almost throwing the SEC West into chaos, but ultimately fell short. South Carolina also clinched a bowl bid nobody saw coming in the preseason with a rare win over Auburn to get an even rarer second win in a row over Auburn.

And of course, Florida lost again...to Missouri. That was the last straw for Dan Mullen, as Florida’s season is on the brink of total devastation if they lose to laughingstock rival Florida state in the season finale. It should be a good one.

They’ve played the games so let’s pass out the grades—this is your Week 12 SEC Report, along with the latest odds for each team’s Week 13 matchup via DraftKings.

1. Georgia Bulldogs

Another week another blowout. Best and most boring season ever. Grade: A+

Next Game: Georgia (-35) at Georgia Tech

2. Alabama Crimson Tide

Whoa, those Hogs were ready to play! Amazing performance from Bryce Young to clinch the West. Now they’ll try to win at Auburn again, something they haven’t done in a little while. Grade: B

Next Game: Alabama (-20.5) at Auburn

3. Ole Miss

I was hoping for 60 points. I mean come on—it’s Vandy. Grade: C

Next Game: Ole Miss at Mississippi State (-2)

4. Texas A&M Aggies

Doesn’t get much better than 52-3. This 8-3 team only needs to beat LSU to top off a 9-3 season that includes a win over Alabama. If only they didn’t lose those early games, but at least they are still reaching new heights each season. Grade: A+

Next Game: Texas A&M (-6.5) at LSU

5. Mississippi State Bulldogs

Great blowout from the Air Raiders ahead of what should be an epic Egg Bowl. Grade: A+

Next Game: Ole Miss at Mississippi State (-2)

6. Arkansas Razorbacks

Now that’s what I’m talking about! If you keep playing Alabama like that you might win the West one day. Get a win over Missouri in the finale, and you’ll probably be bowling in Florida. Grade: B+

Next Game: Missouri at Arkansas (-14.5)

7. Kentucky Wildcats

56-16 is a great Senior Day any season, regardless of how bad the opposition is. It could’ve been a wee bit more, but time to move on to the U of L rivalry game. Grade: B+

Next Game: Kentucky at Louisville (-3)

8. Tennessee Volunteers

With a 60-14 win over South Alabama (also known as USA), the Vols are 6-5. 6-5 is pretty surprising from a team that lost half the roster to the transfer portal in the offseason, and that’ll likely be 7-5 after they have their turn with Vanderbilt. Grade: A+

Next Game: Vanderbilt at Tennessee (-31)

9. Auburn Tigers

Oof, tough loss before the Iron Bowl. This post Gus Malzahn stuff might be harder than we thought. Grade: C-

Next Game: Alabama (-20.5) at Auburn

10. South Carolina Gamecocks (Win of the Week)

Wow! Turns out they don’t have to beat Clemson to go to a bowl because in a huge surprise the Gamecocks took down Auburn in Colombia! What a great first season for Shane Beamer, who will be playing December football. Grade: A+

Next Game: Clemson (-11.5) at South Carolina

11. LSU Tigers

The UL Monroe win will be Coach O’s last with LSU unless they beat Texas A&M this Saturday in Death Valley. A tall order, but don’t underestimate the power of Death Valley. Grade: B

Next Game: Texas A&M (-6.5) at LSU

12. Missouri Tigers

As awful a season as Missouri has had, they are going bowling! What a thrilling overtime win over the collapsing team that suddenly everyone wants to play. Florida has given South Carolina and Mizzou bowl bids so far, and they are happy to take them. Grade: A

Next Game: Missouri at Arkansas (-14.5)

13. Florida Gators

Last week after Florida gave up 52 to Samford I said “Wheeeee the Dan Mullen Era is going great!” in joking sarcasm. Welp, now it’s over, and they need to avoid a loss to Florida State in the finale to avoid last place in these power rankings. Yes, I know Vandy is 0-7 in the conference but this is a huge collapse. Grade: F

Next Game: Florida State at Florida (-3)

14. Vanderbilt Commodores

Another tiny step forward for Vandy, who only lost by 14 to Ole Miss on the road. It would sure make their season if they ended it with a win in Knoxville this Saturday. Grade: B

Next Game: Vanderbilt at Tennessee (-31)
