1. Auburn Tigers

The Tigers took a week off and remain atop my ballot. Tuscaloosa awaits.

2. LSU Tigers

Another week, another wild win for Les Miles and Co.

3. Alabama Crimson Tide

The Tide can salvage their season to some extent by upsetting Auburn.

4. Arkansas Razorbacks

The Hogs have a shot at a BCS bowl if they can knock off LSU.

5. South Carolina Gamecocks

Carolina finally looked Spurrier-esque against cupcake competition.

6. Mississippi St. Bulldogs

The Bulldogs fought hard against Arkansas but came up short. I'm sure a win over Ole Miss will assuage the pain.

7. Florida Gators

The Gators looked good against App. St., but can they do it against FSU? They've been dominating bad teams and stinking against good ones all year.

8. Georgia Bulldogs

The Dawgs will look to salvage a bad season with a win over Ga. Tech this week.

9. Kentucky Wildcats

The 'Cats will be looking to end their losing streak against UT this week.

10. Tennessee Volunteers

The Vols can reach bowl eligibility with a win over UK, which wouldn't be too bad in Derek Dooley's first year.

11. Mississippi Rebels

Close but no cigar for Ole Miss against LSU.

12. Vanderbilt Commodores

After looking at the box scores from the past few weeks, I'm thinking that maybe Vandy should have started playing Jared Funk long ago.
