SEC Power Poll Ballot: Week Three

by Gamecock Man on Sep 19, 2025 5:03 PM EDT in Football

1. Alabama Crimson Tide

Still rolling.

2. Arkansas Razorbacks

Nice victory over Georgia. Appear to be ready to do what Ole Miss couldn't last year.

3. LSU Tigers

Still not the most fluid team around, but they're winning, in most cases comfortably. Definitely plenty of talent in Baton Rouge.

4. South Carolina Gamecocks

Carolina took a small step backwards with an underwhelming performance against Furman.

5. Auburn Tigers

The Tigers got a big win against Clemson, although it was hardly of the most inspiring sort.

6. Florida Gators

I'm seeing that a lot of people want to rank Florida second based on reputation alone. The idea seems to be that they'll eventually get it together. Well, we're three games in and they're still struggling. Maybe they're just not an elite team this year.

7. Kentucky Wildcats

Still waiting to see what happens when they play someone.

8. Georgia Bulldogs

Not looking good right now.

9. Tennessee Volunteers

Didn't look too bad against Florida, but doesn't seem to be able to sustain a game past the third quarter.

10. Vanderbilt Commodores

Hey! Vandy got a conference victory. Nice work, geniuses.

11. Mississippi St. Bulldogs

Maybe we were giving Mullen too much credit at the beginning of the year.

12. Mississippi Rebels

LOL.

It was really a pathetic loss. Classic choke job.

The coaching was so Bowden-esque, too. It was a beauty to watch.

Neither can I, although I'm not ready to make any predictions.

They looked like the could be a good team. But that will require that they play a full four quarters and give their playmakers (Ellington) the ball when it matters. Other than last year, it seems like they always wait until they play us to figure out how to do these things.

It, indeed, does not look good for us right now

Please beat the hell out of Auburn. You have our unbridled support in that pursuit.

I still think you guys get it together and win some games this year...

But certainly things aren’t looking too good for you right now. You really need to get Green back, and your OC needs to get his head screwed on straight. That will help. Your defense is fine, I think. 31 points may not look good, but Arkansas will score points on all their opponents.

Hope we can oblige on the Auburn front.

Agreed on all points.

Best of luck on Saturday.

The Canines

While starting off 0-2 in conference games is not good, the good news is the schedule seems a bit easier for a few weeks. This should let you guys re-group. With you guys playing Miss. State and Auburn in the west, its not inconceivable that you could win the rest of the conference games. With that being said, if we drop 3 of the games against Aub, Ark, Ala, and Fla we could still be watching you guys play in ATL.

Good Power Poll, but

I would put UF # 4 - not because of last year, but because they handled UT on the road in a rivalry game and I think they’re being judged too harshly considering that they’re in the process of breaking in a new QB. Demps has been playing like a stud. We still haven’t been road-tested yet.

I would put then put USC at # 5 and Auburn at # 6. Just my .02.
