Things are about to get messy in the Southeastern Conference this weekend with the two remaining undefeated teams, Georgia and Tennessee, set to battle for the SEC East in Athens on Saturday.
Both moved to 8-0 in Week 9. Georgia beat Florida 42-20 while Tennessee took down Kentucky 44-6. In the West, Ole Miss edged one out against Texas A&M, while Arkansas took care of business against Auburn, which proved to be Bryan Harsin’s last game as head coach of the Tigers. LSU, Mississippi State, Alabama and Vanderbilt all had the week off.
