With four ranked teams – Alabama, LSU, Missouri and Texas – on open dates in Week 10, the SEC schedule doesn’t have a ranked-versus-ranked matchup among its five conference contests on Saturday. The league also has two non-conference contests in Week 10 against visitors from New England. Here are 10 stats from SEC Football by the Numbers, along with the schedule, TV and betting lines, to get ready for Week 10:

5 Completions of 40 or more yards by Florida QB DJ Lagway in both of his starts this season – a 45-7 victory over Samford on Sept. 7 and a 48-20 victory over Kentucky on Oct. 19. Lagway has 10 completions of at least 40 yards among his 54 completions in 2024. Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart with 12 and Auburn QB Payton Thorne with 11 are the only SEC players with more 40-yard completions than Lagway. Dart has 173 completions and Thorne 114 this season. With Graham Mertz out for the season, the freshman is now the Gators’ full-time quarterback. Florida plays Georgia on Saturday. The Georgia defense has allowed four completions of 40 or more yards this season.

5 Punts have been returned for minus-15 yards against Auburn this season, the fewest punt-return yards in the nation. The Tigers play Vanderbilt on Saturday. Vanderbilt CB Martel Hight has averaged 17.3 yards per punt return this season, the best in the nation for any player with at least 13 punt returns.

6 Victories for NCAA FCS teams in 305 games against SEC opponents since Division I split into Division I-A and I-AA in 1978. The FCS winners have been The Citadel, which beat Arkansas in 1992 and South Carolina in 2015; Maine, which beat Mississippi State in 2004; Jacksonville State, which beat Ole Miss in 2010; Georgia Southern, which beat Florida in 2013; and East Tennessee State, which beat Vanderbilt in 2021. Maine’s 9-7 victory over Mississippi State on Sept. 18, 2004, came in the Black Bears’ only game against an SEC opponent. On Saturday, Maine will take on its second SEC foe when it visits Oklahoma.

7 Consecutive games for Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson with at least one TD run. Sampson has run for 838 yards and 17 TDs on 144 carries this season. He’s one short of the Tennessee single-season record for rushing touchdowns set by Gene McEver in 1929. The Volunteers play Kentucky on Saturday.

15 Victories and three losses for Georgia when a ranked team of Bulldogs plays an unranked Florida opponent, which will be the case for their meeting on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida. This will be the fourth consecutive season that the Gators will be unranked in The Associated Press Poll when facing Georgia. That hadn’t happened since the 1970 through 1973 seasons. The Bulldogs were No. 1 when they played Florida in each of the previous three seasons and are No. 2 for Saturday’s game. A victory by Georgia would give the Bulldogs their first four-game winning streak against Florida since a six-game streak from 1978 through 1983. The unranked Gators’ victories over ranked Georgia came in 1986, 2002 and 2014.

19 Points are the most that have been scored against Tennessee in the Volunteers’ past eight games. It’s the longest stretch of games without any of Tennessee’s opponents reaching 20 points since doing so in the final nine games of the 1985 season. The Vols have allowed 81 points in their seven games this season, the fewest in the nation and the fewest for Tennessee through seven games since 1972, when it yielded 64. The most recent previous season in which the Vols held each of their first seven opponents in a season to fewer than 20 points came in 1969. The most recent season in which Tennessee has held each of its first eight opponents to fewer than 20 points came in 1966, when none of the Vols’ 11 opponents got there. Tennessee’s Saturday opponent, Kentucky has averaged scoring 19.1 points per game this season, the lowest output in the SEC.

26 Seasons since Texas A&M had a 6-0 conference record, which the Aggies would own again with a victory over South Carolina on Saturday. Off to its first 5-0 league start since joining the SEC in 2012, Texas A&M most recently had a 6-0 record in conference play in 1998, when it won the first seven games on its Big 12 schedule. The Aggies won the conference championship that season.

74 More points have been scored by Vanderbilt than by its opponents this season, the largest margin for the Commodores entering November since 1955. Vanderbilt has outscored its opponents 256-182 in 2024. In 1955, Vanderbilt had a 126-40 scoring advantage entering November – an 86-point margin. The 1955 team ended its season in the first bowl in the Commodores’ history – a 25-13 victory over Auburn in the Gator Bowl. Vanderbilt plays Auburn on Saturday.

236 Yards are needed by Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart to break the school’s career total-offense record. Dart enters Saturday’s game against Arkansas leading the SEC with an average of 362.8 yards of total offense per game in 2024. QB Bo Wallace (2012-14) set the Ole Miss record with 10,478 yards of total offense – 9,534 passing yards and 944 rushing yards. Dart has 9,033 passing yards and 1,210 rushing yards for 10,243 yards of total offense. QB Eli Manning (2000-03) holds the Ole Miss record for career passing yards with 10,119. But because his career rushing total was minus-135 yards, Manning’s total-offense yardage came to 9,984.

333 Rushing attempts apiece during the 2024 season for Arkansas and Ole Miss. Entering their meeting on Saturday, Ole Miss has thrown 269 passes – one more than Arkansas. The Razorbacks have outgained the Rebels on the ground with 1,594 rushing yards to 1,473 rushing yards. Ole Miss has the advantage in passing yardage with 2,832 on 183 completions while Arkansas has 2,266 on 165 completions.
