The college football season is nearing the midway point for most teams and after a full slate of games on Saturday, we at PFF and our team of over 500 analysts has dissected and graded every player on every snap of every game to bring you the most detailed and valid set of picks you can find anywhere.
The Week 6 SEC Eckrich Team of the Week powered by PFF saw some impressive performances and, of course, the strength of opponent also factored into the overall selections as did the PFF player grades.
Quarterback
Joe Burrow, LSU
The standout signal-caller had himself yet another dominant game at the helm for LSU, completing 27-of-38 attempts for 341 yards, five touchdowns and one interception in his Week 6 victory over Utah State.

Defensive Interior
Austrian Robinson, Ole Miss
Robinson earned grades of at least 75.0 as a run defender, as a tackler and as a pass-rusher in Week 6. He recorded six total pressures across his 24 pass-rushing snaps and added a defensive stop against the run for good measure.
Second-Team DI: Jordan Elliott, Missouri
