It's hard for me to grade 7-12 because all but the bottom two seem kind of close. But..
1. Florida - I still think they are #1 until they lose, but that doesn't look quite as improbable as it did at the beginning of the year. UT showed that with great RBs you can run right at them and they are clearly not as fearsome on the receiving front as last year.
2. Bama - Been pretty impressive so far. We've only played one legitimate team, and we haven't played a complete game (well, maybe today), but have still gotten it done comfortably. I think if we can get it all together (i.e. clean up special teams and score touchdowns instead of field goals) we will be very, very hard to beat this year.
3. LSU - Weren't overly impressive in first two weeks, but the Washington win looks much better now. Most people have Ole Miss here, but LSU has more talent and has players who've dealt with the pressures of being a targeted team before.
4. Ole Miss - Haven't played anyone yet, so we're basically guessing based on the latter half of last year. But they've done pretty much all they could in their first two games.
5. UGA - Good win tonight in a shootout. I think they'll get stronger as the year goes on.
6. Auburn - Not far behind UGA, and they've done a good job to start 3-0. It will be interesting to see them play the big dogs in the SEC and we'll know more about them at that time.
