Following a 35-20 home defeat last night, Texas A&M Football dropped seven spots to #21 in both the AP and Coaches Polls. Mississippi State, following a sound victory over #2 Auburn, is the new #1 team in both polls, while Ole Miss remains at #3. Auburn fell to #6 in the AP, while Alabama remains at #7 after a narrow victory over Arkansas. So while there are still five SEC West teams ranked, the other four are in the top ten.
Congratulations to Mississippi State. This is only the fifth time in history that a team has beaten three AP top ten teams in consecutive weeks. Meanwhile the Aggies will face Alabama on the road on Saturday.
