A look back at what happened this weekend in the Southeastern Conference.

What we learned: As expected, LSU and Alabama hold the first two spots in the Bowl Championship Series standings released Sunday. They will meet in Tuscaloosa on Nov. 5, in a game with bigger ramifications than winning the SEC West. After the Tide and Tigers meet, both have three more games and perhaps a conference championship remaining. If the winner on Nov. 5 can stay undefeated, the BCS title game in New Orleans awaits. … Quarterback woes for both Auburn and Florida continue. At Auburn, Barrett Trotter started the first six games but Clint Moseley took over in the second half in win over Florida. Mosely is hoping to get his first start this weekend against LSU. "They're an amazing defense," Moseley said. "It's something that you really do dream about. I mean, how much more dramatic could it possibly be: No. 1 team in the country, road game, huge underdogs. It doesn't get any better. It's an opportunity I've dreamed of forever." … Meanwhile Florida is hoping quarterback John Brantley, who injured his ankle, returns to action in two weeks against Georgia.

Best performance: Alabama running back Trent Richardson may grab the Heisman Trophy from a crowded field of quarterback contenders. Richardson rushed for 183 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, including a thrilling 76-yard run midway through the third quarter. He leads the nation with six straight 100-yard games and has scored 16 touchdowns for the Crimson Tide. With a big game against LSU on Nov. 5, Richardson just could be the second Alabama running back in three years to win the Heisman. (Mark Ingram won in 2009.)

Biggest disappointment: South Carolina tailback Marcus Lattimore is out for the year after he tore a ligament in his left knee and suffered some cartilage damage in Saturday's victory over Mississippi State. He had 818 yards and 10 touchdowns rushing through seven games this season.

With Lattimore out, South Carolina's "Big Three" on offense is now down to one. Quarterback Stephen Garcia was dismissed last week. Now it's receiver Alshon Jeffery's team,

Looking ahead: Three more weekends until the blockbuster match-up between Alabama and LSU on Nov. 5. First though, the Tigers play Auburn at home on Saturday and the Crimson Tide is at Tennessee. Both will be off for a week heading into their huge match-up.
