How the SEC stacks up in USA TODAY Sports 1-138 rankings after Week7

How did the SEC move in USA TODAY Sports latest 1-138 rankings after Week 7 upsets?

The SEC had a wild weekend in conference play, upsetting everything we thought we knew about the conference. The top teams in the conference took another loss, with Georgia, Alabama, and Texas all suffering upsets. Ole Miss looked like the team we expected in the preseason, with a dominant win over Missouri, and Kentucky kept their winning streak alive with a win over Oklahoma in Norman.

At the midway point of the season, the teams with a legitimate shot to contend are beginning to separate themselves. How does the SEC stack up in the latest 1-138 rankings from USA TODAY Sports Paul Myerberg? Let's take a look.
