SEC Power Rankings, Week 10: Oklahoma plunges deeper into despair, South Carolina stays hot
The SEC’s Week 10 landscape revealed stark contrasts between Oklahoma’s downward spiral and South Carolina’s continued dominance. The Sooners suffered another demoralizing home loss—this time a 42-25 defeat—while also firing offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle after a third straight weak offensive performance.
Head coach Brent Venables now faces growing doubts about his long-term future as the team’s offensive identity remains in flux. Meanwhile, South Carolina’s offensive resurgence under Shane Beamer has turned the Gamecocks into a conference standout, with quarterback LaNorris Sellers finally fulfilling his potential.
The Gamecocks’ momentum follows a second midseason turnaround in three years, while Georgia’s consistency remains unshaken despite an upcoming gauntlet of tough SEC opponents, including Ole Miss, Missouri, and South Carolina itself. The Bulldogs’ passing game, though still evolving, has kept them atop the conference as the most reliable team in the SEC.
