Mississippi State
- Lost its third game of the season, this one to Georgia Tech on the road, 7-38.
- Croom's offense was shut out for three quarters, and his defense gave up 438 yards on the ground.

Vanderbilt
- Beat Ole Miss on the road, 23-17.
- Another game in the SEC in which the losing team out-statted the victor, as Ole Miss compiled 385 yards to Vandy's 202.
- Vanderbilt's Ryan Hamilton made sure none of that mattered, intercepting three passes and returning one for a touchdown. He also prevented a score with a key goal-line tackle.
- Bizarro breaking news: Vanderbilt is now ranked in the both the coaches and AP polls. The last time Vandy was ranked? Ask George Orwell.

Kentucky
- Beat Middle Tennessee at home, 20-14.
- A back and forth affair ended dramatically as MTSU threw a 61 yard desperation pass in the waning seconds with Kentucky holding on to a 20-14 lead. It appeared to be a Hail Mary-ish victory, but was just short. Still, the Blue Raiders had one last chance right at the goal line, but Kentucky's Robbie McAtee tackled MTSU's Eldred King at the 1-yard line to preserve the victory.
