SEC Standings: Checking in on where things stand after LSU’s bye in Week 9
LSU had the chance to sit on the sidelines and watch the rest of the league in action during Week 9.
Alabama, who the Tigers face next weekend in Tuscaloosa with College GameDay in town, also had the week off to prepare for a matchup that could very well decide the SEC West once again.
Elsewhere in the league, Florida’s outside hopes of winning the SEC East came to a resounding end with a blowout loss to rival Georgia in Jacksonville. Tennessee outlasted Kentucky on the road, Texas A&M got back on track against South Carolina and Ole Miss took care of business against Vanderbilt.
Auburn also got its first SEC win under Hugh Freeze, beating Mississippi State.
