SEC Power Rankings: Texas or Tennessee on top? And how far does Georgia fall?

Georgia and Texas have been playing catch with the top spot in the SEC power rankings all season, and the Bulldogs tossed it back on Saturday with a demoralizing loss to Ole Miss. With two losses and three weeks to go in the regular season, the Bulldogs are unlikely to wrest it back. Meanwhile, Tennessee keeps lurking with just one loss. Onto the rankings!
