Who stood out in the SEC for Week 6?

Week 6 in the SEC has come and gone putting us right at the midway point of the 2022 college football season.

The slate of games gave us four blowout performances as well as three nail-biting games that kept you engaged. For the Georgia faithful, there wasn’t much to be anxious about in the Deep South’s Biggest Blowout. The Bulldogs took care of Auburn, 42-10. Tennessee, Mississippi State, and Ole Miss also joined in on the fun. The four teams combined to beat the opposition 174-68, and most of the scoring came from Vanderbilt. The Commodores held a halftime lead but the Rebels ran away with it.

Florida held on against Missouri, Kentucky fell to South Carolina, and Alabama needed a goal-line stand as time expired against Texas A&M.

With Week 6’s contests firmly in the books, the SEC editorial team at the College Wire voted on their top performers.
