1. Alabama
I really don't see how you can say this isn't the conference's best team anymore. They totally dismantled what was supposed to be a pretty good Arkansas offense today.
2. Florida
The Gators took care of business against a hapless Kentucky team today. The question now is, can they survive long without Tim Tebow if the concussion is serious?
3. LSU
I suspect this team will go the way of Ole Miss as soon as they take on some real competition. For now, though, they're undefeated.
4. Georgia
Does any receiver in the country mean more to his team than A. J. Green?
5. South Carolina
The Gamecocks aren't great, but they're steady: the offense is efficient, and the defense does the rest. If the offense can take it to the next level, they could make a run at one of the better seasons in school history.
6. Auburn
This team continues to impress with its prolific offense. They need a signature victory to move up, though.
7. Ole Miss
The Rebels will hope to take out their frustration on Vandy this week. I expect they'll regroup and have a decent year, but the talk of an SEC title was obviously premature.
8. Mississippi State
They really should have beaten LSU. This team might have a future under Dan Mullen, although it might take a while to get there.
9. Tennessee
The Vols struggled against hapless Ohio this week, conjuring up the specter of Wyomings past. This team may have a rough road ahead of it.
10. Arkansas
The Hogs have no defense, and 'Bama showed that you can stop their offense.
11. Kentucky
Turned in a truly pathetic performance against the Gators. I know we all expected a Florida win, but the 'Cats literally laid down and let the Gators walk all over them. It was over after the first quarter.
12. Vanderbilt
I think they're in trouble this week against angry Ole Miss.

The Gators have a week off.
Something tells me that Tebow will either drink water from the Holy Grail and be ok, or just sleep it off and be ok. Whichever’s first.

Won't Quibble Too Much ...
At the top, there are only two teams with a legit national title chance. But I think you still give UF the upper hand because (a) they’ve played 2 division games to Alabama’s one; (b) Bama won at home convincingly while the Gators won just as convincingly on the road, with their numero uno star having been laid out; and © UF is still the defending SEC and National champ from 2008, and Bama laid an egg in their bowl. So ….
1. UF. 2. Bama
The fall-off from positions 1-2 to 3-7 is huge. 3. LSU. 4. UGA. 5. USC. 6. Ole Miss. 7. Ole Miss. Bluntly, I don’t see any of these squads knocking off Florida or Alabama. It might happen. I just don’t think its likely to. These are teams that will likely finish 5-3 or 4-4 in conference.
I think these these five teams will finish with at least 2 SEC losses each, and likely 3 each.
8. UT. 9. Arkansas. Much as I intensely dislike Kiffin and Petrino, they’re a year away from being in the preceding group. At best, these are teams that will finish with SEC records of 3-5.
10. Vandy. 11. MSU. 12. UK. These are pick ‘em teams. But i don’t think they will finish with an SEC goose-egg either. Call ’em 2-6 in conference.
I'm actually kindof into MSU now. I could see them winning three SEC games.
Vandy and UK are in a world of their own right now in terms of badness.
