Man our defensive line ranking should not be anywhere close to our LB and secondary ranking. Guess that just shows how deep the SEC is at DL

Whole is greater than the sum of the parts, but a good Rant thread nonetheless.

Thought we got jobbed at LB. DL was a little low and DB maybe a little high. I see us in the 5-7 range when all is said and done.

The only two Ds we face in the top half of the conference per these rankings are UF and AU. We play neither team on the road. Nice.

I did the same for offense using Offensive Line, RB, QB and WR/TE rankings.

1. Alabama (6,1,5,1 = 13)
2. Auburn (4,6,1,4 = 15)
3. South Carolina (1,3,7,6 = 17)
4. Gay&M (2,5,12,2 = 21)
5. Georgia (10,2,8,3 = 23)
t6. MSU (7,11,2,7 = 27)
t6. Ole Miss (9,10,3,5 = 27)
t8. Missouri (5,9,4,11 = 29)
t8. LSU (3,7,10,9 = 29)
10. Florida (8,8,6,10 =32)
11. Arkansas (12,4,13,13 = 42)
12. Tennessee (13,13,9,8 = 43)
13. Vanderbilt (11,14,11,14 =50)
14. Kentucky (14,12,14,12 =52)

Then if you combine the rankings of offense and defense:
1. Alabama (1,1 = 2)
2. Auburn (2,6 = 8)
t3. Ole Miss (6,4 = 10)
t3. LSU (8,2 = 10)
t5. MSU (6,5 =11)
t5. South Carolina (3,8 = 11)
t7. Georgia (5,7 =12)
t7. Florida (10,2 = 12)
t9. Missouri (8,9 = 17)
t9. Gay&M (4, 13 =17)
11. Tennessee (12,10 =22)
t12. Arkansas (11,13 =24)
t12. Vandy (13,11 =24)
14. Kentucky (14,11 = 25)

Finally, using a 3.5 index for home field, here are your standings based on these unit rankings. Might be interesting to go back and look

West
1. Alabama (8-0)
2. Ole Miss (6-2) losses to Alabama, LSU
3. Auburn (5-3) losses to UM, MSU, Alabama
4. LSU (5-3) losses to Bama, Auburn and Florida)
5. MSU (5-3) losses to Bama, LSU and UM
6. A&M (2-6) wins over ARK, Mizzou
7. Arkansas (0-8)

East
1. Florida (7-1) loss to Bama
2. South Carolina (6-2) losses to Auburn and Florida)
3. Georgia (5-3) losses to SC, Auburn and Florida)
4. Missouri (4-4) losses to SC, UGA, UF and Gay&M)
5. Tennessee (2-6) wins over Vandy, UK)
6. Vandy (1-7) win over UK)
7. UK (0-8)
