SEC power rankings: Major movement after exciting Week 2

Week 2 of college football really had it all. Especially in the Southeastern Conference.

In the headliner of the weekend, college football fans got everything they wanted – except maybe a Longhorns victory. Alabama held on to beat Texas 20-19 in Austin in a classic. Texas A&M, alongside Notre Dame, looked to be the most overhyped teams in the nation this offseason after App State stunned Texas A&M. Kentucky showed its for real, beating Florida after a bad game from Gators quarterback Anthony Richardson. An in overtime, Tennessee beat Pitt in a top-25 battle. Additionally, the Georgia Bulldogs handled business against Samford.
