1. Alabama
Some may follow the USA Today/Coaches Poll's lead and rank LSU above Alabama due to the inertia of the preseason rankings. Don't do it. Who has done more so far than the Tide? Oklahoma's superior national ranking proves why preseason polls are detrimental to the game.
2. LSU
Looked good but not dominant against MSU. This year's Saban Bowl will be a blast.
3. Vanderbilt
No, they're probably not this good. But they do have some nice wins so far, and they get another chance to prove themselves this weekend against Auburn.
4. Georgia
Some blackout. Back to the drawing board for the Dawgs.
5. Florida
Really shouldn't have lost to Ole Miss. Mistakes and questionable play-calling killed them.
6. Auburn
Offense was pitiful in the second half, but at least they have a great defense. And what has happened to their PK?
7. Kentucky
The Cats will finally play a real game this weekend at Alabama. God help them. At least they've had all offseason to prepare.
8. Ole Miss
Great win at Florida, but maybe a little deceiving.
9. South Carolina
Offense still looks horrible, but at least Stephen Garcia provided some spark. This weekend's game at Ole Miss gives them a chance to move up.
10. Tennessee
Crompton had gotta go.
11. MSU
Looked better against LSU, but still pretty bad.
12. Arkansas
Horrible on both sides of the ball. Will Petrino go after the Tennessee or Clemson jobs?
