re: Has there been a good "Rank the SEC Teams" post yet? I might've missed it.

It's still way too early, but here is my best guess after two weeks:
1. Alabama
Not sold yet that this Bama team is as great as their National Championship teams in the past. But they are currently hands down the best team in the league.
2. LSU
LSU sits here by default. They've played nobody, and the jury is still out on Coach O. We'll learn more this week.
3. Georgia
We've looked sloppy at times, but I think there is certain improvement... definitely on the defensive side at least.
4. Auburn
While the offense looks bad, the defense may be the best Auburn has seen since the mid 2000s when Auburn was known for their defense. The offense can't be worse than last year, and the defense appears to be better. Auburn went to the Sugar Bowl last season despite horrid offensive production, so I still think this team wins 8-9 games.
5. South Carolina
I said back in July I thought there was a decent chance South Carolina makes it to the Georgia game with an undefeated record. They are still on pace for that. CWM will likely be SEC COTY.
6. Mississippi State
Who knows? This team has played no one. Just like LSU above, we'll know more after Saturday.
7. Vanderbilt
Yes, Vandy. They seem to have a very strong defense and they've slowly been getting better as a program the past couple of years. Yes, it's a crazy year when South Carolina, Miss St and Vandy all make the top half of the league.
8. Tennessee
We'll find out more Saturday, but right now I give them the slight edge over Florida.
9. Florida
They get the benefit of the doubt because Michigan may turn out to be a solid team. But things do not look good in Gainesville, and this #9 ranking may be a bit generous.
10. Texas A&M
I still believe there is talent on this team. The offense looked great in the first half at UCLA, then it all fell apart. Teams 9-14 all appear to be bad teams, but at least Texas A&M showed their potential in that first half in the Rose Bowl.
11. Arkansas
12. Ole Miss
13. Missouri
14. Kentucky

I would like to state that should this happen, I will become unbearable on tRant. I will show tRant a level of thread bumping the likes of which have never been seen before.
You have all been warned.
