I take that back - we know that Arkansas is horrible. Otherwise:
1. Bama has some sexy wins, until those ladies take their make-up off. While wins against Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Michigan sound generally impressive, there's not alot to see there.
2. "Who" Florida beat in College Station isn't as impressive as "how" they beat them. Road wins against quality teams in the SEC are always cherished, but I still don't think we know alot about the Gators.
3. Until this past Saturday, about half the news media was hanging all over Georgia's jock. Tennessee's offense fully exposed them. Nothing too special about that team apparently.
4. LSU's got a really nice win over Washington, and an extremely rare road win in the Plains - albeit unimpressive against an undermanned Auburn team. No one's scared of us right now.
5. Mississippi State has quietly handled their business as well. They handled Auburn much more easily than LSU, even if it was in Starkpatch.
6. After a season kickoff scare at the hands of the mighty Vanderbuilt Commodores, South Carolina is as undefeated and untested as the rest of us.
It's almost as if the league knew in advance that Arkansas would suck, and didn't schedule a meaningful game until October. Seriously, I've got no clue if LSU is the best team in the SEC, or the 6th best.

I think Alabama's offensive line is a little over-rated

Washington is not an impressive win. The PAC-12 and especially USC and Stanford are overrated. Michigan's only loses are to us and Notre Dame which are both respectable loses. They could still win the Big Ten

The entire SEC is a bit over-hyped this season. Then again, every team has fatal weaknesses. I'd say that the SEC East might actually be tougher top to bottom this year than the West. If Florida can knock off LSU this Saturday, that'll be fact.

I think you understated how bad that "extremely rare win on the plains" was.
But your post is dead on. We don't know much about anybody right now, other than Arkansas is in a freefall.

The rest of the nation would disagree with you. Washington is in the top 25, and likewise, their only loss is to us.

I should feel like that. There was absolutely nothing pretty about it. But man, we JUST DO NOT WIN OVER THERE. Granted, most of the times we've lost there, they actually had a decent team, but we really did overcome a ton of history going against us in that game. For whatever reason, our success over there is almost non-existent.

I think they are about to go on a 4 game losing streak since they play @Oregon, USC, @Arizona, and Oregon State. After that, they will look much less impressive

unfortunately I agree
I think we know that Lsu has taken a step back, ole miss has taken a step up, auburn is a dumpster fire, and arkansas will finish last in the west. We also know that this manziel kid is no joke. Just a good football player, plain and simple

I think it's become known to us all that MSU is the team to beat in the SEC West.

I agree about our offensive line being overrated and I think we know the injury to fowler was a big deal.

I didn't watch the Bama/Ole Miss game. The score said it LSU/Townsonesque.
Is Ole Miss decent, did y'all not play well, or did they get some late scores that made it look a little better?

LSU's offensive line is massively overrated. it might be the biggest failure in football right now

They have a dilemma at QB in that they don't have one. Bama played slopppy, didn't tackle, and McCarron threw some careless passes (how none were picked off I'll never know).
