Our first-ever 8-game SEC-on-SEC slate didn’t disappoint. It’s fitting that it came in Week 8. Week 8, 8 games — you get it. We had some epic games between top teams. We had sloppy showings from mid-tier teams. We had Florida fire Billy Napier despite a victory over Mississippi State.

We had Georgia coming from behind (yet again) to take down a feisty Ole Miss squad.
