2. Alabama
5. TAMU
6. Georgia
9. Auburn
13. LSU
17. Florida
19. South Carolina
21. Ole Miss
37. Tennessee
39. State
42. Mizzou
46. Vanderbilt
59. Arkansas
71. Kentucky

Sagarin puts a LOT of weight into strength of schedule, so Vandy gets a bump for playing temple as opposed to UT-Martin, but that doesn't explain why Arkansas is so low or why Florida is so high.

I think the 24 point arse whipping explains arkys ranking.

getting blown out at home is better than getting blown out on the road to a top 10 team?

Florida has no stength of schedule

Sagarin rankings rarely bare relevance to reality.

Or why A&M and Auburn is so low. Going into the game, South Caolina was ranked higher than Clemson.

I mean, we'll take it, but it just seems odd. I don't think any (certainly not many) Georgia fans thought we would go THAT high after only one week.. (#6) I am thinking we should at LEAST wait until we play South Carolina, and maybe Florida. But, as I said, we will definitely take the ranking.

By the end of the season, they're pretty good.

Week one's not really a good time to judge anything.

yeah that is pretty bad. Vandy looked about as bad as a team could possibly look. it's not all on the players though. I think the average SEC rantard could coach better than that abomination Vandy put a headset on.

Sagarin's formula doesn't kick in until after a few games have been played by each team. He's still using preseason rankings.

By the end of September, these should change pretty drastically.

Sagarin is on par with Bleacher Report, IMO.
