Georgia Leads the SEC Power Rankings Week 7
Georgia occupies the top spot in CBS Sports’ Week 7 editorial ranking after entering the week at No. 3. Alabama is second, while Texas is third after holding the top position in the previous ranking.
Ole Miss completes the supplied top four at No. 4. Those positions give CBS Sports’ assessment a clear order at the top, with Georgia ahead of Alabama, Texas and Ole Miss.
The ranking is an editorial evaluation of the conference rather than an official standings table. Texas A&M’s position reflects the outlet’s assessment of the Aggies after their loss to Missouri and their 1-3 SEC record.
| Team | Week 7 rank | Previous rank |
|---|---|---|
| Georgia | 1 | 3 |
| Alabama | 2 | 2 |
| Texas | 3 | 1 |
| Ole Miss | 4 | 6 |
| Texas A&M | 14 | 12 |
The comparable positions show movement among four of the five teams listed. Georgia gained two places, Texas lost two, Ole Miss gained two and Texas A&M dropped two, while Alabama remained second.
Missouri Loss Sends Texas A&M Down to 14th
Texas A&M’s 27-6 defeat against Missouri is the result connected to the Aggies’ move from 12th to 14th in CBS Sports’ ranking. The loss also left Texas A&M with a 1-3 record in conference play.
CBS Sports noted that all three of Texas A&M’s SEC losses came by at least 10 points. That record places the Aggies two spots lower than their previous position and behind the four teams occupying the top of the ranking.
Missouri’s rushing production was a central number from the game. The Tigers gained 252 rushing yards against Texas A&M, and Jamal Roberts accounted for 222 of those yards while scoring two touchdowns.
Roberts’ production represented most of Missouri’s rushing total in the matchup. The 222-yard performance and two touchdowns were part of the statistical profile accompanying Texas A&M’s 21-point loss.
The ranking change gives Texas A&M a lower position than its previous No. 12 spot. CBS Sports’ list places the Aggies at No.
14, with only two teams below them in the 16-team assessment.
Texas A&M’s Remaining Schedule Includes Three SEC Road Games
Texas A&M’s next opponent is The Citadel, according to CBS Sports. The game comes before the Aggies begin a stretch of three consecutive SEC road games.
After facing The Citadel, Texas A&M is scheduled to travel to Alabama, South Carolina and Oklahoma. The sequence includes three away games against conference opponents following the Aggies’ 1-3 start in SEC play.
Alabama is ranked second in CBS Sports’ Week 7 assessment, while South Carolina and Oklahoma are part of the remaining schedule identified for Texas A&M. The Aggies therefore have a nonconference opponent next before returning to the road for those three SEC matchups.
CBS Sports’ ranking places Texas A&M 14th as the team moves toward that schedule. The Aggies’ current position follows the Missouri loss, the 1-3 conference record and the three SEC defeats by at least 10 points.
