No, you?re not looking at the SEC West Division?it?s this week?s Sporting News Power Rankings. After Oklahoma State lost for the first time this season and Oregon and Oklahoma both suffered their second losses, Alabama and Arkansas moved right behind top-ranked LSU.
The Cowboys were upset at Iowa State in double overtime on Friday and fell to No. 5 in this week?s rankings.
Oregon missed an opportunity to move back into the BCS title game talk with a 38-35 home loss to USC and the Sooners squandered its chance by falling to Baylor 45-38 on a TD pass with 8 seconds left in the game.
All of that allowed Alabama to move up to No. 2?where the Crimson Tide was before losing 9-6 to LSU in overtime just two weeks ago. It also allowed Arkansas to move to its highest point of the season. Arkansas? only loss came against Alabama.
The Razorbacks really have a chance to shake up things this week when they travel to Baton Rouge to play top-ranked LSU. No. 2 Alabama plays at rival Auburn.
