Only four points separated the top three teams in AL.com's SEC Power Poll this week, and two of those top three teams face tough challenges this Saturday.
Ole Miss held onto the top spot in this week's poll by a slim margin, collecting four of the seven first place votes and 93 total points to hold off No. 2 Georgia, which got two first-place votes and 90 points, and LSU, which had one first-place vote and 89 points. All are undefeated.
Alabama (3-1) was fourth with 76 points and will play Georgia this weekend. Ole Miss also faces a test with a road trip to Gainesville to play 4-0 Florida.
After slipping to 2-2 with Saturday's loss to Mississippi State, Auburn felt to 11th in the poll with 31 points.
