Week 8 of the college football season is here.

In the SEC, it’s another chance for teams to try to separate themselves in the conference standings with 12 of the 16 teams with either one or two losses.

Georgia football and Kentucky are tied for first at 4-1, with Ole Miss and Tennessee a half game back at 3-1.

Eight other teams have two losses with Alabama and Florida over .500 at 3-2.

“The world we live in now, everybody's got good players,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “Everybody's diversifying in terms of the amount of talent that spreads itself out because kids want to play, and kids want to get paid, and starters get paid, so more players go to more places, and there's just more parity. I think you're going to see more of that. It's actually going to be who deals with it best? Who can manage it and deal with this best?”

There are six games on Saturday Oct. 24 matching SEC teams with another four teams off from games this week.
