There’s quite a bit of movement after Week 1 in AL.com’s SEC Power Rankings, as some teams looked explosive, others looked shaky and three absolutely laid an egg.

The SEC went 11-3 overall in the first full week of action, though just 1-3 in matchups with fellow Power 5 teams. Offensive production appeared to be way up, with 10 SEC teams scoring at least 40 points, five cracking the 50 mark and one going off for 73.

So how do the teams in the SEC stack up after all have played at least one game? Here’s the Week 2 edition of AL.com’s SEC football power rankings for 2023 (all times Central and all games Saturday unless noted):

14. Florida (0-1)

Last week’s ranking: 11

Last week’s game: Lost at Utah, 24-11

This week’s game: vs. McNeese, 6:30 p.m. (ESPNU)

Yes, Utah is a quality team, but the Utes were also playing without their starting quarterback and they still carved up the Gators. Florida looked completely lifeless, particularly on offense, a bad sign in Year 2 under Billy Napier. The Gators had nearly as many penalties (9) as rushing yards (13).

13. Vanderbilt (2-0)

Last week’s ranking: 14

Last week’s game: Beat Alabama A&M 47-13

This week’s game: at Wake Forest, 10 a.m. (ACC Network)

The Commodores already have two wins, which is as many as they have had in some entire seasons. They got off to a very slow start against the Bulldogs, leading just 12-3 at halftime before running away in the second half. Things get tougher from here on out, but for now, Clark Lea and the Commodores are out of the basement.

12. Missouri (1-0)

Last week’s ranking: 13

Last week’s game: Beat South Dakota, 35-10

This week’s game: vs. Middle Tennessee, 6 p.m. (ESPN+)

The Tigers dominated an FCS team exactly as they should have, getting out to a 28-3 halftime lead before playing most of the bench in the final two quarters. Missouri was especially effective on the ground, totaling 211 yards and averaging 5.3 yards per carry. Brady Cook appears to have locked up the starting quarterback job after an excellent first half.

11. Mississippi State (1-0)

Last week’s ranking: 12

Last week’s game: Beat Southeastern Louisiana, 48-7

This week’s game: vs. Arizona, 6:30 p.m. (SEC Network)

The Bulldogs pulled away in the second quarter of Zach Arnett’s coaching debut, and did so in different fashion than we have seen of late. Jo’Quavious Marks ran for 127 yards and two touchdowns, becoming the first Bulldogs back since 2019 (i.e., pre-Mike Leach) to rush for 100 or more yards. Mississippi State gets an early Power 5 non-conference test this week.

10. South Carolina (0-1)

Last week’s ranking: 6

Last week’s game: Lost to North Carolina, 31-17

This week’s game: vs. Furman, 6:30 p.m. (ESPN+)

Spencer Rattler somehow threw for 353 yards while spending most of the afternoon on his back, getting sacked nine times by the aggressive Tar Heels defense. It was a forgettable day overall for the Gamecocks, who rushed for minus-2 yards as a team. Shane Beamer’s team has a get-well game against an FCS opponent this week, and they need it.

9. Auburn (1-0)

Last week’s ranking: 10

Last week’s game: Beat UMass, 59-14

This week’s game: at California, 9:30 p.m. (ESPN)

The Hugh Freeze era is off and running after an impressive all-around display at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers totaled nearly 500 yards of total offense and scored three touchdowns of at least 40 yards, including one on defense. Next up is a rare trip to the West Coast for Auburn and a chance to show Week 1 wasn’t just a case of the Tigers beating up on a bad opponent.

8. Kentucky (1-0)

Last week’s ranking: 9

Last week’s game: Beat Ball State 44-14

This week’s game: vs. Eastern Kentucky, 2 p.m. (ESPN+)

The Wildcats spotted the Cardinals an early lead before dominating the rest of the way, scoring on both defense and special teams to help out an inconsistent offense. Quarterback Devin Leary and running back Ray Davis, both transfers, made an immediate impact in their Kentucky debuts. A visit from an FCS team this week should lead to another easy victory.

7. Arkansas (1-0)

Last week’s ranking: 8

Last week’s game: Beat Western Carolina, 56-13

This week’s game: vs. Kent State, 3 p.m. (SEC Network)

The Razorbacks struggled to consistently run the ball against an FCS opponent, but it didn’t matter the way KJ Jefferson was throwing the ball. He completed 18 of 23 passes for 246 yards and three TDs. Arkansas had touchdown drives of two plays and one play in building a 21-0 lead in the first quarter. The defense also got in on the fun with a pick-6 in the fourth quarter.

6. LSU (0-1)

Last week’s ranking: 3

Last week’s game: Lost to Florida State, 45-24

This week’s game: vs. Grambling State, 6:30 p.m. (ESPN+)

The Tigers apparently got lost on the way out of the locker room at Camping World Stadium, as the Seminoles scored 31 straight points to turn a tight contest into a laugher. Jordan Travis, Keon Coleman and Florida State carved up LSU’s defense, which allowed 359 yards passing and did not record a sack. Offensively, the Tigers moved the ball well, but went just 3-for-10 on third down. That will get you beat.

5. Texas A&M (1-0)

Last week’s ranking: 7

Last week’s game: Beat New Mexico 52-10

This week’s game: at Miami, 2:30 p.m. (ABC)

For one game at least, Jimbo Fisher and new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino looked like a match made in heaven. The Aggies scored the first five times they had the ball, blowing the Lobos off the field. Connor Weigman went 18-for-23 for 236 yards and five touchdowns despite playing only three quarters. A trip to Miami looms, a matchup of two teams looking to bounce back from disappointing 2022 seasons.

4. Ole Miss (1-0)

Last week’s ranking: 5

Last week’s game: Beat Mercer, 73-7

This week’s game: at Tulane, 2:30 p.m. (ESPN2)

The Rebels were an offensive machine against the overmatched Bears, scoring touchdowns on four straight possessions to open the game, totaling 667 yards and scoring 28 points in two separate quarters. Jaxson Dart and Spencer Sanders were both excellent at quarterback, while Tre Harris caught four touchdown passes. Up this week is an intriguing game at Tulane, the rare SEC at Group of 5 matchup.

3. Tennessee (1-0)

Last week’s ranking: 4

Last week’s game: Beat Virginia, 49-13

This week’s game: vs. Austin Peay, 3 p.m. (ESPN+)

The post-Hendon Hooker era got off to a nice start, as Joe Milton threw for two touchdowns and ran for two others and the Volunteers were never seriously challenged in a game played in Nashville. Tennessee also ran for nearly 300 yards, and allowed barely 200 yards of offense by the reeling Cavaliers. An FCS opponent this week offers another opportunity for the Vols to pile up big numbers.

2. Alabama (1-0)

Last week’s ranking: 2

Last week’s game: Beat Middle Tennessee, 56-7

This week’s game: vs. Texas, 6:30 p.m. (ESPN)

The much-ballyhooed return to power football was a rip-roaring success for at least one week as the Crimson Tide was dominant and efficient on both sides of the football. Jalen Milroe accounted for five touchdowns and looked like he has no plans to share the quarterbacking duties. The Alabama defense allowed just 211 yards and pitched a shutout for nearly three quarters. Here comes Texas, however.

Last week’s ranking: 1

Last week’s game: Beat UT Martin, 48-7

This week’s game: vs. Ball State, 11 a.m. (SEC Network)

The Bulldogs took a little while to get warmed up, punting on three of their first four possessions. However, Georgia still led 31-0 after three quarters and was able to rest most of its starting lineup for the final period. Carson Beck was solid if unspectacular in his debut as starting quarterback, but showed good accuracy on the deep ball. The defense allowed UT Martin to go just 2-for-14 on third down and had a pick-6 in the fourth quarter.
