The No. 3 Texas Longhorns and quarterback Arch Manning earned an impressive comeback win over the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes. Texas dominated in the fourth quarter to overcome a 20-point deficit at home. Texas earned the country's most impressive win of the season and replaces the Georgia Bulldogs, who have not played a Power Four team yet, as the No. 1 team in our SEC power rankings after Week 2.

Across the SEC, Texas A&M, Missouri, Mississippi State and Tennessee all defeated Power Four opponents by over 14 points. Alabama won 45-17 thanks to a dominant second half over the Kentucky Wildcats in Alabama's SEC opener.

The Oklahoma Sooners fell on the road to the Michigan Wolverines in a defensive showdown, which serves as a blow to Oklahoma's playoff hopes. Utah demolished Arkansas, who looks like the worst team in the SEC.

Georgia, South Carolina, LSU, Ole Miss and more all won comfortably over inferior opponents to move to 2-0. Vanderbilt had a slight scare against Delaware in a nine-point game. The SEC has looked strong in nonconference play with just two SEC teams suffering nonconference losses thus far.
