SEC Power Poll Ballot

1. Florida - In what will be viewed as a dominating performance, the Gators set up a mildly surprising SEC Championship game with Bama.  Urban made sure to twist the knife by spending all timeouts and letting Tebow prance around as long as possible.
2. Alabama -Bama moves down only because UF beat UGA, Bama's only legit win, just as bad if not worse than the Tide.  Plus, UF let the hammer down and didn't let UGA sniff a comeback.
3. Georgia -The Dawgs are still a good team, but just not a championship contender.  Everything went wrong for the Dawgs against the Gators, but Georgia should finish with ten wins again.
4. LSU -Let the orgy of hate officially begin.  The Tigers haven't been overly impressive this year, but a win against Bama would soothe a disappointed fanbase who wants to watch Saban devoured by rabid nutria.
5. South Carolina - Carolina is solid.  Nothing spectacular, but they are a good football team now that they have figured out an identity and let Garcia take the reigns.  Despite a likely loss to the Gators, the Cocks still look like they are headed to a decent bowl game, a rarity for Carolina.
6. Ole Miss -The Rebs did what they needed to do to get bowl eligible. 
7. Kentucky - Got a huge win on the road, even if it was in Starkville.
8. Vanderbilt- Vandy's goodwill built up after five wins is in danger of being completely erased if they finish the year without another victory. They must get a win against UT.
9. Arkansas - I owe the Hawgs an apology.  After losing to Bama, I said they wouldn't win again.  They've proved me wrong twice now.
10. Mississippi State  - State can still hope for an Egg Bowl victory, but even that won't get them out of Starkville after the regular season is over.  They had to have a win Saturday to go bowling and couldn't come through.
11. Tennessee - In Knoxville, only the off field dramatics remain interesting. 
12. Auburn - Got a huge break at the start of the second half, but still couldn't get a win.  The Aubs remain mildly dangerous, but the offense is completely one dimensional.  Beating UGA or Bama would salvage a scrap of hope for next year, but either upset looks unlikely.
