1. Florida -That offense looks like a hundred flying powersaw blades ripping through all who dare oppose it. Mickey Andrews, mud, rain, and the Doak combined couldn't hold them to less than 40 points.
2. Alabama - Up 29-0, Saban makes his punter cry tears of blood after a shank (even that description is mild compared to the verbal assault that kid took). After seeing that, I turned off my TV because I've heard that sustained exposure to that type of intensity causes bowel discomfort. I cannot wait to see Saban scheme against Urb.
3. Ole Miss -It was just Moo State, but Ole Miss crushed their biggest in-state rival with its second consecutive conference beatdown. That defensive line can give anybody problems, including whoever they face in Dallas.
4. Georgia - Is there a more disappointing 9-3 team ever? Georgia's season comes down to three halves when their defense looked like it hadn't ever seen football played. Knowshon and the offense can be breathtaking, though. Moreno absolutely willed a 32 yard score Saturday and has some of the best runs you'll ever see. He'll be missed.
5. South Carolina - Shiny Pants got popped by Dabo, as Chris Smelley lived up to his last name with a terrible performance. Spurrier is now 1-3 against his biggest in-state rival.
6. LSU - I can understand the offensive inconsistency and pick sixes. After all, they are on what would be their fourth string QB. That defense, though, is bad. If LSU went to the Cotton Bowl, they'd give up 60.
7. Kentucky - One just got the feeling that the Vols weren't going to lose that game, no matter how terrible they played this season. Frankly, the Cats have a weak nonconference schedule to thank for their bowl trip. They don't have a single win over a team with more than five wins.
8. Vanderbilt - 'Dores limp to the finish line with the assistance of paramedics. Unless their bowl opponent makes a lot of mistakes, expect Vandy's first bowl in forever to result in a typical Vandy outcome: a respectable loss.
9. Arkansas - After an early season of calamity and woe, Petrino and the Hawgs have found a bit of spark. After the Texas game, they looked hopeless, like bottom of a dark well with Buffalo Bill standing over them hopeless. That's why I'm so shocked that they were a field goal against Mississippi State away from a bowl bid.
10. Tennessee - The Vols sent Phil off with a win and a fat wallet.
11. Auburn -Tubs has to feel like things are slipping away from him. This whole season has been a nightmare. Not only the failures of his team, but also the success on the Capstone has to sting. He needs to flush it, get a new offensive coordinator, and recruit his ass off this year. It won't get easier.
12. Mississippi State - Croom got beat so bad, he left. Forget Lane Kiffin, this is the most interesting coaching search in the conference. Who's got the guts to take over that program and compete against the SEC's band of mighty mercenaries with all the handicaps that State has?
