re: Coaches Poll Week 2

Truth be told, if rankings were based on performance I don't think the top 25 would look like what it does today, let alone the SEC; to be perfectly honest!!!! As far the SEC goes,

aTm did a fantastic job on offense, but really, your defense wasn't as impressive as you think! USCe was completely out-manned on both sides of the ball, but you did what you were supposed to do and did it well, for this game! Would like to see what you guys do against a more balanced team.

Bama, still solid on the offensive side of the ball but as Nick Saban stated, played pretty soft on defense (and yes, I do know and understand that WVU is a legit offense and can put up big numbers, but the "nasty, physical" play from a typical Bama defense wasn't there!

Auburn, great offensive showing but man Arkansas ran the ball at will against you guys. If that doesn't change going into SEC play, then you will have some serious issues facing teams like UGA, Bama, & LSU!

LSU, "pedestrian" is a nice way of putting the offensive showing against Wisconsin; and although good in the 2nd half, we as LSU fans can't expect to have offensive performances like that and keep up with Bama, Auburn, & aTm!!! Defensively, ahead of most; offensively, still some growing pains.

UGA, looked good, but you didn't really have to pass or defend the pass. You pretty much bullied Clemson with your run game, which is top notch in the SEC in my opinion! Curious if UGA can provide a more balanced attack on offense!

Outside of the 5 SEC teams in the Top 15,

Ole Miss, played okay, but I was not impressed. Similar to LSU, had a slow start and eventually turned it on. Defense looks the part, but we'll see.

As for the rest of the SEC...

I don't see where anyone really did anything impressively other than beat teams you were supposed to beat (those of you who won). No assessment needed.

It was only the first week!!! The 2nd week should be "pancake week" as we all beat up on some scrubs.
