Probably good until proven otherwise:
Georgia
Middle -- any of these teams could beat each other on any given day:
LSU
South Carolina
Auburn
Bama
Arkansas
State
Mizzou
Oklahoma
Texas
Ole Miss
Tennesee
Vandy
A&M
Suspect or bad:
Florida
Maybe Kentucky
SEC is about as even as it has ever been.

Put LSU’s rushing offense on the Suspect list.

Defense has looked phenomenal. They’re FAST
Rushing game looks greatly improved.
Special Teams, with Thorson back, is top level in CFB
The passing game is bottom tier, a yuge problem, and will cost us games if the D has an off Saturday

Georgia hasn’t shown shite to be up there all alone. Stop it.

Tbh UGA has earned the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise

Those “under whelming” wins against Marshal and Pea. They haven’t even looked dominant winning those games.
Let’s see how they look after they play a team with a pulse. My guess is they will look the same. Very meh.

This I agree with

Georgia has played like they belong with the rest of the pack.

If Florida is really as bad as they looked Saturday, UK may beat a P4 team this season after all.

We are suspect until proven otherwise. Only thing we have shown so far is we might already have the died-abetus.
We learn where we are this week.

Put the crack rock down till proven otherwise

Everyone is "in the middle of the pack" at this point.
Wide open.
That's why we play the games.
See you next week.

Switch Florida and Miss St and that’s pretty close. I know I know Florida lost to South Florida. That’s one game. Miss St beating a very overrated Arizona St is also one game. After Florida beats LSU this weekend some of yall will have Florida top tier.

According to ChatGPT - This is more realistic currently:
Tier 1 – At Least One SEC Win and Ranked Non-Conference Victory
Ole Miss (2–0 overall; 1–0 SEC; beat No. 20 Kentucky)
Mississippi State (2–0 overall; 0–0 SEC; beat No. 12 Arizona State)
Oklahoma (2–0 overall; 0–0 SEC; beat No. 15 Michigan)
These teams stand out not just for being undefeated, but for earning Top-25 scalps.
Tier 2 – Undefeated, but No Ranked Wins Yet
Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt
All are 2–0 overall and 0–0 in SEC play, but without marquee ranked victories.
Tier 3 – Split Record, No SEC or Ranked Wins
Alabama (1–1)
Florida (1–1)
Texas (1–1)
These teams are even and haven’t secured a ranked win nor played in conference yet.
Tier 4 – Troubled Start
Kentucky (1–1 overall; 0–1 SEC; lost to Ole Miss and had their ranked opportunity slip away)
Tier 1 – At Least One SEC Win and Ranked Non-Conference Victory

Oklahoma (2–0 overall; 0–0 SEC; beat No. 15 Michigan)
