SEC Power Poll Ballot, Week 1

Secpowerpoll2008_medium
1. Georgia
Do good things against CMU and South Carolina, or you're looking at No. 2. Or worse.

2. Florida
It was Hawaii. Sure, Georgia looked less impressive against an FCS team. But is Hawaii really FBS-caliber this year?

3. Auburn
Before Bama fans get too carried away, they should remember the Tigers actually beat ULM.

4. LSU
WE BEAT APPY STATE! Which would be a big deal not at all if the 'Eers hadn't beat Michigan. Last year.

Lesroars_medium
Take that, Bill Martin!

5. Alabama
Absolutely crushed Clemson. But are they for real for more than one week?

6. South Carolina
You do realize that the game begins in the first quarter, not the third, right?

7. Kentucky
Um, how about your offense scores, mkay?

8. Mississippi
Houston Nutt would be even scarier if he had a McFadden or a Jones.

9. Vanderbilt
Ninth?!? This might be the highest I've ever ranked Vandy. Are they that good? Or are Tennessee, Mississippi State and Arkansas that bad?

10. Tennessee
There are no words.

11. Mississippi State
Wow. The Bulldogs got Dooley'd.

12. Arkansas
Pitiful. I mean, we knew they were going to be bad, but rallying to be an FCS team? Pitiful.

I like the fact that (quite independently of one another) we made . . .

. . . the same “Dooleyed” joke.

However, I’m not sure how “Georgia looked less impressive” than Florida last weekend. While I agree that Georgia did not look like the No. 1 team in the nation, the Gators were deadlocked with the Warriors in a scoreless tie for almost the first third of the contest. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, were up by seven less than three minutes into the game, led 10-0 after one quarter, and led 17-0 three minutes into the second quarter.

The Red and Black tallied 535 yards of total offense. The Orange and Blue tallied 406.

Other than the fact that Urban Meyer lacks both the good sense to pull his starters and the class not to run it up on an overmatched opponent, in what sense was Florida more impressive than Georgia?

Go 'Dawgs!

Um, again, difference between FBS and FCS

While the subdivision classifications might not be meaningful, there’s no reason to see Georgia Southern as more than a good FCS team. I’m not sure that’s better than a bad FBS team. Even with the scrubs in for a while, UGa had an easier opponent. Besides, I still ranked UGa first; what more do you want?

Yeah...

Kyle is right; I don’t think Florida looked better than UGA last weekend. Urban just took longer to pull his starters, which is really stupid.

I say this even though I voted Florida number one. I did so because I just think they’re more talented. I made this decision before the season and I haven’t seen any reason to change my mind yet. I didn’t do it because I though UGA was unimpressive last week; in fact, after watching some of the game, I thought UGA looked better than I thought they would. Stafford has really improved his game and that the WRs look better, which may be a sign that UGA will be more multi-dimensional this year.

Go Cocks!
