Huge, huge win for South Carolina today in College Station. A loss might have put a dent in their confidence moving forward, but instead, they now head into a huge week (vs. LSU, UK) with some momentum.

On the other hand, aTm accomplished the exact opposite today. They really needed a home win to hold on to the conference lead heading into next week. Now, it's back-to-back away games against decent to good teams.

Kentucky finished off a big win against Florida, and you may see them back atop the conference standings as early as Wednesday, if they can take care of business this week against Georgia and South Carolina, two games in which they will be favored.

Vandy let an important win slip away tonight in Oxford. Although the aTm win this week will outweigh this loss in the eyes of the committee, it's still going to be a tough one to swallow for the Dores. They needed to get to 6-4 in conference play.

LSU had a nice win against Mississippi State, after falling behind by 14 points early. Honestly, it was one of their best offensive games of the season (despite the weak opponent). The Tigers are now in sole possession of first place in the conference.
