This will surely stay on the front page before a sticky



quote:

Alabama - The Tide are 8-0 once again after winning their 12th straight game against Tennessee. The nation's #1 team rests up in preparation for a marquee match-up against #4 LSU in Baton Rogue.

Arkansas - Got the first win since week 1. Tulsa isn't a good team but we still took care of them like a good team should, improving each week has continued.

Auburn - I couldn’t tell if Ole Miss is just plain awful, or if Auburn actually improved slightly. Either way, our chances vs. the bye week are still 50/50

Florida - Nice quiet bye week as the team heads into UGA. No injuries, nothing bad to report. Biggest WLCOP in a long time.

Georgia - This year the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party determines who is the favorite to win the SEC East, as it should be. Dawgs fans are ready to find out if we're good enough to overcome an embarrassing loss in a big game

Kentucky - Hello?

LSU - It was ugly, but the Tigers did what needed to be done. Now a 2-week hate-fest before the Tide roll into Baton Rouge in a top 5 matchup. Devin White being out the first half hurts. If the Tigers can keep it a one score game until the 2nd half, lookout for some magic in Death Valley!

Mississippi State - Man, what an embarrassing offensive performance. We have a great defense, but that can only carry us so far. If we can't figure out how to complete a pass, we may only win 1 or 2 more games this year. We have A&M this week, and for some reason we opened as a 3 point favorite. I think Vegas is drunk.

Missouri - Hello?

Ole Miss - Coming out flat in the Auburn game caused us to miss a great opportunity to get a season altering win. Back to the drawing board for the off week.

South Carolina - South Carolina survives the bye. Big shoutout to Auburn for making it so the gamecocks can't be the first team to lose to Tennessee and break the streak. You guys are the real MVPs

Tennessee - Hello?

Texas A&M - Feeling nice and refreshed after the bye, A&M heads to Starkvegas where it looks to improve to 4-1 in conference vs a team who's looked completely lost on offense a good chunk of the season.

Vanderbilt - Vandy lost a lead for the second straight week and is still looking for its first SEC win for the year. Mason's seat is heating up, but the OC's chair is red-hot. The defense played well against Kentucky's powerful rushing attack and forced some Kentucky miscues, but it was just not good enough to overcome the failures of Vandy's hyper-conservative offense. Up next? The battle for last place in the SEC Rant Power Rankings!

We have a clear #1. #2-$6 can be mixed, but all 5 teams are up there. Outside of a few random high OM votes, the clear bottom 3 is OM, Pig, & Vandy.

After this weekend, we'll have some more clarity on UF/UGA. A&M & UK will have a chance to get knocked out of non Bama, but great tier as well.

It's funny how LSU & A&M has wins over UGA & UK and are ranked ahead. But UF & UK have wins over LSU & UF yet are ranked behind them.

Down to only one clear-cut spot.

Interesting that Florida and LSU have the same record, with UF winning the head-to-head, but LSU is ranked above them.

Any 2nd place vote for A&M is one too many.

All of the wins over top 10 teams gives us the edge.

Just a reminder to some that don't seem to understand, this is a power ranking.

...this week's ranking is, well, something to behold.

1st ALA 5-0
2nd LSU 4-1
3rd FLA 4-1
4th UGA 4-1
5th TAM 3-1
6th KEN 4-1

and now for the slap out crazy ...

7th MSU 1-3
8th UMO 0-3
9th USC 2-3
10th AU 2-3
11th TN 1-3

and then the rest

12th OM 1-3
13th VU 0-4
14th AR 0-4

I knew this asylum would be in rare form for 2 weeks due to the ALA/LSU game. the power rankings did not fail to deliver.

I don’t quite understand the love for Mizzou. They beat one G5 team and suddenly they’re worth a frick again. I don’t get it.

I dont get why UF is above UGA or UK. Their home loss to UK was not competitive. UGA looked awful at Death Valley, but everyone looks awful there.

This argument that LSU has only beaten one top 10 opponent needs to stop. Miami, Auburn, and Georgia were all ranked in the top 10 when LSU played them. That means LSU has PLAYED AND BEATEN 3 top 10 teams. Past tense.

Our opponent w-l record is light years ahead of the league.
