11. Oklahoma Sooners
It continues to feel strange putting the Oklahoma Sooners in an SEC power ranking, but this is the stuff we have to get used to. Five-star quarterback prospect Jackson Arnold has had some early growing pains for Brent Venables program. It's hard to be confident in what this program is doing in 2024. Just when our confidence was at an all-time low with the Sooners, they go out and smoke Alabama in Week 13. Who saw that coming?

10. Vanderbilt Commodores
Clark Lea's group have been better than expected, and picked up a monster victory in Week 6 by defeating the Alabama Crimson Tide.

7. South Carolina Gamecocks
When you consider where we had the Gamecocks ranked beginning the year, this has been a majorly successful campaign. The Gamecocks have a case to be made that they can jump Alabama and Ole Miss with their current resume.

With Nick Saban retiring, a new era is upon us with the Alabama Crimson Tide under head coach Kalen DeBoer. The Crimson Tide have looked like a national title threat at times this year. That wasn't the case against Oklahoma in Week 13. Alabama will now need some real help to enter back into the College Football Playoff field.

4. Texas A&M Aggies
We entered the year fairly high on this Texas A&M program. Mike Elko has done a bang up job in reshaping this roster. Although the Aggies can secure a spot in the SEC Championship with a win against Texas in Week 14, losing to South Carolina didn't do them any favors in Week 13. Does anyone want to win this conference?

3. Tennessee Volunteers
It's hard to get a complete read on what we've seen from the Tennessee Volunteers this year. The Vols picked up a big win against Alabama, but didn't look nearly as strong on the road in Athens. With multiple teams getting upset in Week 13, the path is clear for the Volunteers to play in the College Football Playoff.

2. Texas Longhorns
It's conflicting on how to rank the Texas Longhorns in 2024. Their strength of schedule hasn't been there, but they remain the only SEC team with one loss. The Longhorns failed their test against Georgia, and will need to respond in a big way against the Aggies to close out the year. Even with a loss, the Longhorns will likely end up qualifying for the College Football Playoff.
