SEC Power Poll Ballot


We're still early, but the goo is starting to harden a bit.  Here are my continued guesses:
  1. Alabama - Right now, they appear to have the best team.  My concerns about their offensive line and QB haven't materialized.  It's a power poll, so the Bammers get my nod.
  2. Florida - Was Meyer being nice or was that the best the Gators have?  Meyer doesn't have "nice" in him, so I'm forced to assume UF is only a few points better than UCLA. 
  3. Ole Miss -The Rebs are #4 in the country and need to prove they deserve it Thursday night.  
  4. Auburn - I'm buying the Aubs.  Their offense looks like its for real and their defense can control the game enough to make the O's scores stand up.  They also have wins over fairly legit opponents, a rarity at this point in the season.
  5. LSU - I've never heard a group of people more upset about going 3-0.  They have issues on both sides, but I just get the feeling this team is going to hit its stride and crush some people later this season.  Right now, they're just thinking about it.  That Washington win suddenly looks better.
  6. Georgia - The offense can score with anyone.  The defense can allow scores as well as anybody too.  So far, the Dawgs are Loyola Marymount, scoring huge numbers of points and eeking out wins. 
  7. Arkansas -They'll score a bunch of points this year because they have a huge QB who can sling it around.  But, their defense has to get a lot better for them to win serious games.
  8. South Carolina - The Cocks pulled away in the second half against FAU.  Garcia and crew must win Thursday to remain relevant.
  9. Mississippi State - State got a conference win in Nashville.  Celebrate Dogs because that may be it for a while.
  10. Tennessee - Moral victory!  This past weekend's game was the most disappointed I've been with a Vol loss in a long time.  Didn't everyone want to see Kiffy bleed and grovel for mercy? 
  11. Kentucky - I don't know if Louisville is any good, but I bet that Kentucky is just like they always are: capable, but not overly threatening.
  12. Vanderbilt - At home with a winnable game and they come up short again.
