Teams throughout the Southeastern Conference that have been pummeled can take some solace in knowing that one humbling loss does not end hopes of winning the division.Its also a cautionary fact for the division front-runners looking to keep momentum going.Whatever side of the ledger a team is on this week, several games present gut-check moments that could determine what direction the remainder of the season takes.Saturdays Eastern Division matchup between No. 11 Tennessee (4-0, 1-0 SEC) and No. 25 Georgia (3-1, 1-1) in Athens is one of those games.

Rallying from 21 points was exciting for the Vols, but the challenge is avoiding a letdown and proving their mettle again.

Orgeron took over following Sundays firing of longtime coach Les Miles and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, moves that came a day after LSU lost 18-13 to Auburn.Officials ruled that LSUs last-gasp touchdown pass came after the time expired, leaving the Tigers with a loss that knocked them out of the Top 25 and led to the coaching change.After starting the season ranked fifth in the country and picked by SEC media to finish second in the West behind defending national champion Alabama, LSU is now among four 1-1 teams in a division led by unbeaten Texas A&M (4-0, 2-0 SEC) and the Crimson Tide. LSU (2-2, 1-1) must regroup with a new leader for the first time in 11-plus years.Guys are not ready to put the season to rest, LSU junior quarterback Danny Etling said. I just expect us to keep trying to improve every game, try and improve from last week, correct mistakes, move on and try and get our feet underneath us with new leadership.Texas A&M and Alabama look to keep rolling along. Neither school is taking anything for granted despite being heavy favorites against South Carolina (2-2, 1-2 SEC) and Kentucky (2-2, 1-1), respectively.Alabama is 9-0 at home against Kentucky and hasnt lost to the Wildcats since 1997. The Aggies have won both series meetings against South Carolina but are prepared for a challenge in Columbia from the Gamecocks, who are coming off a loss at Kentucky.Coaches have been stressing around the conference that looking ahead can lead to a loss this week. Players seem to be listening, regurgitating coach speak when talking about the challenges.This weeks all about South Carolina, Texas A&M receiver Christian Kirk said.
