College Football Rankings, Week 7: Georgia, Florida Could Meet In Another Unranked Cocktail Party

Georgia's fourth consecutive win - a 20-12 road victory at division rival Tennessee where the Dawgs haven't won since 2005, no less - couldn't push UGA back into the AP Top 25 or the USA Today Coaches Poll. Georgia finished with 61 votes in the AP (good for a hypothetical 29th), and far down in the mix of the Coaches Poll with 15 votes.

Sunday marked the first time since 1982 that neither the Coaches Poll or the AP Top 25 ranked at least one of the "Big 3" Florida teams - Florida, Florida State and Miami. The Gators dropped out of both polls (formerly 17th in the AP, 18th in the Coaches) after being crushed by LSU 41-11. That makes 4-1 South Carolina (15th in the AP, 12th in the Coaches) the sole ranked SEC Eastern Division team. 

Both the Gators and Bulldogs have a bye on October 22, one week before their annual meeting in Jacksonville, where last year both teams met unranked for the first time since 1979. Florida could jump back into the low 20s if they win this Saturday at Auburn, while Georgia will need to blowout Vanderbilt in Nashville and still get some help.

Meanwhile, if fans are hoping to see a consensus No. 1 vs. No. 2 "battle for the ages" when LSU and Alabama meet up November 5, Oklahoma will likely have to lose before then. The Sooners increased their hold on the top spot of the Coaches Poll with five more first place votes than last week after they destroyed rival Texas in the Red River Shootout.

The Tigers and Tide remain Nos. 1 and 2 in the AP Top 25, but Oklahoma has a 17 vote advantage over LSU for the top spot in the Coaches', followed by Bama. The Sooners are at Kansas, home for Texas Tech and travel to Kansas State before the November 5 game LSU/Alabama game in Tuscaloosa.

SEC Football Scores: Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia Join Winner's Circle

Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Auburn Tigers: A dominant, 38-14 victory for the Hogs gives them a tie-breaker's edge over Auburn in the SEC West, which probably won't matter because SERIOUSLY Alabama and LSU are in the SEC West. Still, Arkansas' defense notched three interceptions and held a Gus Malzahn offense scoreless for three quarters, so maybe they learned a thing or two from Bama after all.

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Vanderbilt Commodores: The Tide went up, 7-0, halfway through the first quarter. The game ended, but Alabama scored at regular intervals thereafter anyway, finishing up with a 34-0 decision. They'll likely remain ranked No. 2 in the nation when rankings come out Sunday.

Georgia Bulldogs vs. Tennessee Volunteers: Dawgs win, 20-12, to give Mark Richt win No. 100 at UGA and possibly sneak into the top 25. More here.

SEC Football Final Scores: LSU Demolishes Florida, 41-11

The LSU Tigers pummeled the Florida Gators, 41-11, and it would've been even worse if not for a fake punt touchdown called back due to the all-new taunting rule. LSU rolled out to a 24-0 lead before Florida made its way into the end zone, and looked like they could've won by more than 30 (or 37) if they'd been so inclined.

Both teams played two quarterbacks. Results differed. Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson combined to go 10-of-14 for 215 yards and a touchdown each, while newby Jacoby Brissett and Trey Burton paired for 100 yards and two picks.

No. 1 LSU adds another ranked team to its collection of pelts, while Florida has to hope John Brantley can return soon. But at least the Gators offense will get a boost next week, as a trip to play the Auburn Tigers awaits.

SEC Football Scores: South Carolina Rocks Kentucky, Mississippi State Pulls Away

South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Kentucky Wildcats: The No. 18 Cocks showed no signs of a quarterback controversy against UK, winning 54-3 without Stephen Garcia, but ... it was against UK. New starter Connor Shaw threw for 311 yards and Andrew Clifford and Dylan Thompson combined to go five-of-five. Kentucky did a bunch of sad things.

Mississippi St. Bulldogs vs. UAB Blazers: Missy State trailed UAB 3-0 at the half, but three Tyler Russell touchdown passes trued up the score to something much more manageable. 

Hey look, these two winners play each other next week. It's like a tournament, y'all. That game goes down in Columbia.
