Texas A&M beat rival Texas twice in College Station (Game 3 was canceled) and climbed six spots to No. 8. The Aggies, who have won eight of their last nine SEC games, are tied for second in the league at 9-5 (a game and a half behind Georgia), while Florida is in fourth at 9-6.<\/p>\n
Florida State tumbled six spots after losing at home to Florida and getting swept at Georgia Tech. Mississippi State\u2019s slide continued; the Bulldogs dropped from No. 7 to No. 13 after getting swept at home (by Tennessee) for the second consecutive weekend.<\/p>\n
