We’re heading into Week 8 of the college football season, and there’s plenty to still be decided in the SEC. Here are some burning questions facing every SEC team.

1. Alabama: Now that the Crimson Tide is rolling past quality opponents and looking like the best team in the league, do we have to worry about them getting complacent at all?

2. Arkansas: Can the Razorbacks get on any kind of a roll now with Auburn, UT-Martin and Ole Miss the next three on the schedule?

3. Auburn: Can the Tigers build off a road win at Kentucky, or is that still just a win at Kentucky?

4. Florida: Did Treon Harris show enough Saturday to make Gator  fans comfortable enough with him at the helm the rest of the way?

5. Georgia: If Georgia’s offense is only going to be good for nine points a game without Nick Chubb, is there any way they can still win the SEC East?

6. Kentucky: Does Kentucky have a chance to find a way to win close games this season? It was tough letting that Auburn game slip away.

7. LSU: Will the be any doubt after Florida that LSU is the best team in the conference? The Tigers are the last one standing in the unbeaten ranks

8. Mississippi: Can the Rebels recover from a shocking loss at Memphis, which was very painful but still had no bearing on their standing in the SEC West?

9. Mississippi State: Is Mississippi State good enough to get themselves back in the thick of things in the SEC West?

10. Missouri: Can Mizzou get anything out of their offense with the current poor  production at quarterback and the offensive line?

11. South Carolina: Will Shawn Elliott’s energy and determination be enough to continue the Gamecocks’ winning ways?

12. Tennessee: Will Tennessee’s excitement over coming back against Georgia be enough to keep them in the game against Alabama?

13. Texas A&M: Can Texas A&M’s defense bounce back after being exposed by Alabama?

14. Vanderbilt: Will Vanderbilt find a way to get in the end zone more? Can’t rely on the defense to keep them in games.
