The fact you put Alabama sixth pretty much discredits your entire rankings
Granted you aren't supposed to try to predict the future in power rankings, but it's very likely that Bama will end up around 5th or 6th.

It's be rather impressive if he was able to apply the transitive property to every team and every series played and rank them accordingly the way he did with Arkansas

Did you do this with every team?!?
That would be impossible. But I've watched Arkansas play every game this year; I know who they've played and how they've played against every opponent. The only realistic argument you could really have with my ranking is in my placement of Alabama at 6th, but, like most here, I expect them to take a tumble when they enter the difficult part of their schedule. As of now, I do know Arkansas took two of three from them, so they go below us, imo.

Why is Ole Miss so high? They've lost to every good team they've played. Their series wins are Missouri, Auburn, and MSU. They've lost to SCar, got swept by Bama, and just lost to LSU. They are not a top 5 team.

You vote on Arkansas based on play and vote Bama based on expectations. Be less of a hack.

There, I edited my rankings and put Alabama at #2. Does that make you happy? Can you now have an enjoyable and productive afternoon?

LSU got swept by Florida, so LSU can't be number 1 unless UF implodes, I could see LSU at number 2 now, but I think USCe is still 2nd best.
But LSU can't be number 1 with UF so hot.

I'd argue LSU has been just as hot since swept by Florida.

It's how you finish 
I haven't kept up with UF since we lost game 1. Still confused on that one

It's not like we got ran out of Baum. We beat Arkansas 17-9 in the Friday game lost 1-0 and 2-1 in the other games.

You lost two of three, which is what matters.
Alabama has played a very easy conference schedule so far. There is absolutely no way to argue that fact.

1. Florida-peaking at the right time
2. Bama- finally hitting the meat of their schedule. dropped a spot because their bullpen shouldn't blow a huge lead agaisnt a low tier team.
3. LSU-biggest series win of the season, may have found a solution to their rotation problem. Bullpen remained consistent even without its best guy, a good sign headed into an easier chunk of the schedule.
4. Ole Miss-should not have any shame in losing 2/3m it was close all weekend. Like LSU, Ole Miss is getting to a favorable part of their schedule so if LSU and Bama slip up OM is good enough to steal it.
5. State- state hit a slump with LSU and Ole Miss so it was huge for them to sweep mizzou, even if mizzou is low tier(looking at you bama). What sucks for State is that the injury bug is slowly creeping through their bullpen.
6. Kentucky-Big bashers and good pitchers keep on rolling, even if they have been beating up some of the smaller teams. I dont want to play them at all in the tourney. AJ Reed for POTY
7. Carolina-only reason Carolina is at 7 is because they have been hit bad with injuries the last few weeks. This is a case where you may want to play them now, but you dont want to have anything to do with them by the time the tourney rolls around.
8.Arkansas-arky is winning games with great pitching and no offense. this basiclly leaves them in the middle of the pack. Similar to LSU 2 years ago they have a shot to win any game, but the hitting is too inconsistent. Rotation is sick though and id like to see how arky can do in a tourney.
9. Vanderbilt- Vandy is hurting right now and im not sure if it can be fixed with Florida and USC still left to play. Beede is still in a funk, the offense finally realized that it lost a ton of guys, and idk whats going on with the rotation with Miller, Fullmer, Stone, and that midweek guy.
10. Georgia-A solid team, but not solid enough for the top of the SEC. They may be able to make a run at the tourney a la state a few years ago though i think they lack the pitching. The tie agaisnt LSU could screw them in the butt though.
11.Texas AM-I have no clue what happened to these guys. I thought Mengdon was the 3rd best pitcher behind Nola and Beede. Now Mengdon got demoted, AM is trying out their closer on fridays, and the lineup has shifted around a couple of times. If it wasnt for Beede losing it,id give TAMU my dissapointment of the year award.
12. Auburn-i dont know too much about Auburn except that their coach is aparently a dick, and that Keegan guy is a stud. Maybe in like 2 years they will be competitive again.
13. Tennessee- id be a little more dissapointed with tennessee if they had done better last year. I think they are still 1-2 years away from being competitive. Nice of them to have the comeback agaisnt bama but that isnt going to save their season.
14. Mizzou-well, Haith left for tulsa so i guess thats good?
2. Bama- finally hitting the meat of their schedule. dropped a spot because their bullpen shouldn't blow a huge lead agaisnt a low tier team.
