SEC Week 8 Upset Alerts: Unranked Teams Eye Ranked Scalps

SEC Week 8 Upset Alerts: Unranked Teams Eye Ranked Scalps

The SEC could be in for another wild weekend in Week 8, with several unranked teams looking to take down ranked conference foes. The action begins with Auburn hosting No. 18 LSU in what promises to be one of the weekend's most thrilling college football matchups.

Alex Golesh's squad, coming off a bye week, delivered a stunning blow to Georgia in Athens, upsetting the No. 1 Bulldogs with a game-winning field goal. Meanwhile, Lane Kiffin and company secured a 31-0 shutout over No. 16 Mississippi State.

No. 11 Tennessee will hit the road to face South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium. The Gamecocks, fresh off a bye week, are eyeing another massive upset over the Volunteers, who are coming off a spectacular Week 7 win over No. 6 Alabama.

The Crimson Tide return to Bryant-Denny Stadium for the first time since Sept. 26 to face Texas A&M. The Aggies have just one conference win this season, but a major upset over Kalen DeBoer and company could turn the tide for Mike Elko's squad on Saturday.

The lone ranked-versus-ranked matchup this week takes place in Austin, Texas, as the No. 19 Longhorns host Heisman-contending quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and the No. 7 Ole Miss Rebels.
