1. Auburn- Auburn continues to win week after week. They went into Lexington and beat a very rebellious Wildcat team. Their defense isn't quite there yet, but I like some of the pieces they have to beat Arkansas next week. LW: 2
2. LSU- LSU is another team that wins even when all the odds are against them. It took a bit of Miles magic against Florida, but they got it done. The athletes on LSU such as Terrance Toliver, Ruben Randle, Patrick Peterson, and even Jordan Jefferson for that matter give the Tigers a chance every Saturday in the SEC. Next stop, the Cowboys of Mcneese State in Tiger Stadium. Yeah LSU, you better be scared. LW: 3
3. South Carolina- Beating the #1 Team in the country is pretty damn awesome, awesome enough to be ranked third in the Power Rankings. South Carolina's offense was extremely balanced with a hint of boiled peanuts (just the way Coach Spurrier likes em'). The defense was solid as hell against the running back duo and Mr. I don't lose-a-lot too. Keep it up Gamers. LW: 5
4. Alabama- Eh, Alabama lost but still is one of the most quality teams in the SEC. I will take Alabama every saturday. Their offense was not as relient on the run as I would have expected against USC, but their defense seemed weak. They better get their ish together as they host Ole Miss at home next week. LW: 1
5. Arkansas- Beating Texas A&M is nice. What's even nicer is the fact that Arkansas has a solid defense to back up a great offensive unit. Holding down a sometimes boisterous Aggie offense is not all that easy. Arkansas @ Auburn will be a BATTLE baby. LW: 6
6. Mississippi State- The Bulldogs are riding a three game winning streak heading into the swamp. I love their offensive prowess this year with the two-quarterback system they have. Tyler Russell is somewhat inconsistent, but when Russell and Reif are on their game, they're able to win games. The defense isn't too shabby either, as I really like the young talent they have on the defensive line. 4 in a row? Don't count them out. LW: 7
7. Mississippi- The Rebels were able to win against the BYE week and prepare for the trip to Tuscaloosa. Spurrier and his Gamecocks gave teams a blueprint to beating Alabama: Don't make mistakes and make that game your best game. Ole Miss' defense isn't too strong this year but Masoli is finally settling down and becoming the leader Nutt wants him to be. LW: 8
8. Florida- When's the last time they lost two in a row, you ask? 2007 as a matter of fact. That team went 9-4 and I believe this team will as well. The young gators will continue to grow as the toughest part of their schedule is behind them. LW: 4
9. Kentucky- Operation: Lose, but lose playing tough, is working for Joker Phillips. The Wildcats have a pretty good offense as Mike Hartline is asserting himself well. Playmakers are scarce, though, and Kentucky will have to take care of business against other bowl potential teams in the SEC if they want to get to last years record. LW: 9
10. Georgia- A win is a win. Georgia won a game that would seem like an afterthought in the preseason. As I said before, Aaron Murray is a star in the making and the defense is improving pretty well. Georgia SHOULD go 2-0 heading into their rivalry game in Jacksonville against Florida. LW: 12
11. Vanderbilt- Vandy already has an SEC win to their name this season and thats where they are likely to stay, unfortunately. Their defense is too weak and their offense is still going through some growing pains. LW: 10
12. Tennessee- Tennessee showed signs of life @LSU but were dead once again while playing Georgia. The defense has absolutely no depth and Matt Simms is NOT the answer to their problems. LW: 11
