re: Power Rankings thread? Yep, it's time.

Showed no major weaknesses. Lost a little steam in the second half, but a weather delay and having the game under control make that excusable.

Alabama

Offense was sluggish, but VT has a pretty good defense, even if their offense isn't very good. Bama needs to get better offensively, but no major red flags here.

Questions coming in were losses of personnel on defense and the progress of Mett. Both questions got pretty good answers. Some sloppiness kept the game closer than it should have been. The defense needs to get a little better, and it will.

Texas A&M

They did fine with a suspect defense last year. The offense still did well. How they'll perform against a real defense, we'll know a week from Saturday.

Ole Miss

Offense looks good, defense bad. Same as last year, but young talent has a lot of upside. They could improve defensively, but won't be a contender this year.

Georgia

Went into a hostile environment against a very good offensive team and gave up a lot of points in a close loss. It sucks for them and it puts a lot of pressure on them to beat South Carolina this week, but the sky is not falling in Athens.

Florida

They looked a little sluggish on offense, but great on defense. This is like any of their last few teams. They still look like a very good team.
