SEC Power Poll

Vanessa Marcil agrees with these rankings

1. LSU- If one loss in triple overtime on the road to a SEC opponent keeps them out of the BCS NC game, the SEC needs to take Dan Wetzel’s advice . The early week spread for the Bammer game is LSU -7. I can’t wait for the LSU/Bammer game. No commercials, no mercy. LSU will roll. Am I the only one who thinks that LSU could beat the Saints?

2. Auburn- Yeah I know they didn’t dominate Ole Miss on the scoreboard, but look at the total offense: AU 420, OM 193 (with 79 yards coming on one drive). Auburn was holding back and I expect them to do so again this weekend vs. TN Tech. Tubs is keeping it conservative until the UGA and Bammer games. Also, Auburn’s losses aren’t bad losses. USF is a good team, no one with a brain can say LSU isn’t the best team in the country, and the loss to State doesn’t look as bad as it did at the time. If (a big if) AU wins out, they should be looking at a BCS bowl.

3. Florida- Tim Tebow didn’t cry after this game. UGA, LSU, and Auburn have exposed how to beat the Gates. Tebow and Percy Harvin have accounted for nearly 82% of the Geightor offense this season. Shut them down and you’re in the clear (easier said than done). UF’s defense is finally showing its youth. Even considering this, they are still a very tough team to beat. Would easily go undefeated in the Big 10.

4. UGA- This must be the most schizophrenic team in the SEC. Looked like shit against UT, Vandy, and an over-rated USC team but looked half man, half amazing against UF and Oklahoma State. Two huge SEC games left for UGA, but Helen Hunt Mark Richt is a late season coach. I am used to seeing classy UGA teams. Two weeks ago they stomp on Vandy’s mid-field logo and Richt gets pissed about it. Then they rush the field after their first TD against UF and Richt pretty much says he told them to do it. Me don’ts understands. Does UGA have the long term goal of stealing recruits from Miami by becoming the new Bad Boys of college football?

5. Kentucky- WTF? Andre Woodson’s Heisman hopes are in the shitter after the MSU game. UK was ranked 7^th in the BCS standings two weeks ago, now they are nowhere to be found. It doesn’t get any easier for the Wildcats, with three tough games remaining. A 7-5 or 6-6 finish would be a shitty way to end a hell of a season by UK.

6. UAT- Free textbooks? Check. Delusional fan base? Check. UAT will get pwned by LSU. This team is currently way over-valued at #17 in most polls. But don’t worry Bammers, you still got 12. And you’ll be bowling, just like Collette Connell predicted around ten months ago. What a classy broad.

7. Tennessee- What the hell happened in the second half against USC? Only USC’s Ray Finkle saved Phil Fulmer and John Chavis from staying the subject of many sports talk radio conversations during this week. UT has to be one of the most bi-polar teams in the conference, behind UGA of course.

8. South Carolina- Apparently USC’s cock isn’t Smelley. A QB controversy isn’t needed in Columbia as they get into the home stretch of their schedule. How in the hell did that kicker miss his FG attempt in OT? He kicked one that would have been good from 65 yards in regulation and then he Leigh Tiffin-ed his last one. A shitty way to end a great game. I have thought USC has been over-achieving all season and they proved me right this weekend.

9. Miss State- Win over UK was huge, but it was the Wildcats 6 second half turnovers that gave them this win. Since apparently no one is listening, Dixon is the most under-rated RB in the SEC. He’s just a Sophomore. He is going to personally Shawshank Ole Miss. State is one of four SEC schools that are only one win from becoming bowl eligible, and they will get that 6 ^th win before the end of the season.

10. Arkansas- The Razorbacks pissed all in FIU’s Cheerios. Second consecutive week D-Mac and Felix Jones went off, but it was against a winless Sun Belt team. Only one win away from becoming bowl eligible, but one of those wins will have to be against SC, UT, MSU, or LSU. Doubt it will happen, but would a trip to Shreveport (or worse, if that’s possible) make Fayetteville happy?

11. Vandy- Should have killed Miami (OH) but they were probably emotionally spent after last week. The Dores are now only one win away from becoming bowl eligible. Wouldn’t be something if 11 SEC teams were bowling? How would that make The 0 feel?

12. Ole Miss- One play from the redzone against Auburn. Result: Brent Shaffa picked off in the endzone. Ole Miss has as many conference wins as they do mascots, Zero. This team is about as effective as the Iraqi Republican Guard. The 0 said last week he is in the third year of his 5 year plan. Is selling chicken on a stick at Chevron the goal of Coach 0’s 5 year plan?
