SEC Power Poll Ballot

1. Alabama - Beat Tennessee and made them like it, well, made the few Vol fans that stuck around like it.

2. Florida - The Gators look really scary, but UK didn't exactly mount much resistance.  With vengeance on their minds, the lizards slink into Jacksonville for the biggest Cocktail party in ages.

3. Georgia -Exposed a surprisingly error-prone LSU team with big play after big play.  That offense has to show up in Jacksonville to keep pace with the Gators.

4. LSU -It's easy to say the Tigers need a better quarterback, but quarterbacks aren't blowing pass coverages and missing tackles. 

5. South Carolina - Shiny Pants gets a chance to kick Phil while he's down.  Don't expect him to hold back.

6. Ole Miss - Got out of Fayetteville with a win.  Beat Auburn and you can make reservations for Nashville, Memphis, or Shreveport.

7. Vanderbilt-Does losing to Duke erase all of the goodwill Vandy built up this year?  I don't think so, but they need to be solid for the rest of the year to get to a bowl.  If you can lose to Duke, you can lose to UK or UT.

8. Kentucky -It's hard to find anything redeeming when you give up 63 at home.

9. Mississippi State -This weekend is a must win for the Dogs if they want to get bowl eligible.

10.  Arkansas -Michael Smith is racking up the yards, but the Hawgs will need even more offense to keep up with Tulsa.

11. Tennessee - A season that tries the collective orange soul.  It seems a foregone conclusion that Phil won't be around next year.  Is an orange jet headed for Durham?

12. Auburn - Is there a more painful M.O. for a fan: get a nice lead then fall completely apart.  Tubs must beat Ole Miss or a bowl game is doubtful.
