Here's my ballot, revised from yesterday's draft. I've included explanations when appropriate.

1. LSU Tigers

2. Alabama Crimson Tide

3. Florida Gators

4. Arkansas Razorbacks

After further consideration, I think you have to say that UF's 10-point victory over Tennessee is better than Arkansas's 10-point victory over Troy. The Hogs will get their chance to move up when they play Alabama this week.

5. South Carolina Gamecocks

6. Georgia Bulldogs

7. Auburn Tigers

8. Mississippi St. Bulldogs

9. Tennessee Volunteers

You guys have convinced me that I had UT too high. They've not done anything noteworthy this year, and now their best WR is out for the season. MSU has to get credit for playing a tough schedule thus far.

10. Vanderbilt Commodores

Beat South Carolina and we'll talk.

11. Kentucky Wildcats

12. Mississippi Rebels

You guys were right that Ole Miss needs to go last. Any team that loses to Vandy by 23 is a very bad team.
