It was a fun first week of conference play in the Southeastern Conference. After two games of action for each school, five unbeaten teams remain.

Florida proved why they were at the top of the conference to start the season, while Ole Miss and Texas A&M showed they are teams to be reckoned with this year.

On the flip side, defending national champion Kentucky has a lot of work to do with a young squad, and it looks as though it could be a long season for teams like South Carolina and Georgia.
