Here we are at week 2 of the college football season, and several SEC teams either lost or performed in less-than-impressive ways this past weekend. So lets get right to my ballot:
Rnk | Team | cWL | W-L | SoS | PF-PA | MoV | Polls | Next opponent | Remarks |
1 | Alabama | 1-0 | 52.51 | 35-10 | 25 | 1 | at Texas A&M | Bye week. | |
2 | Texas A&M | 2-0 | 60.37 | 117-59 | 29 | 6 | Alabama | Okay, so TAMU allows an FCS team to score 28 on them? | |
3 | LSU | 2-0 | 50.63 | 93-44 | 24.5 | 8 | Kent State | 56-17 is convincing enough to me. | |
4 | Georgia | 1-0 | 1-1 | 57.96 | 76-68 | 4 | 9,10 | Sep 21, North Texas | The Dawgs kept Jadeveon Clowney at bay. |
5 | South Carolina | 0-1 | 1-1 | 61.12 | 57-51 | 3 | 13,14 | Vanderbilt | Is the Gamecock secondary now considered suspect? |
6 | Florida | 1-1 | 61.43 | 40-27 | 6.5 | 18,20 | Sep 21, Tennessee | 1-for the red zone is a recipe for disaster. | |
7 | Mississippi | 1-0 | 2-0 | 60.79 | 70-48 | 11 | 25 | at Texas | Southeastern Missouri St. gets 17 first downs against the Ole Miss defense? Really? |
8 | Arkansas | 2-0 | 52.71 | 65-35 | 15 | 33 | Southern Mississippi | Even we at Kentucky are not impressed. | |
9 | Tennessee | 2-0 | 57.8 | 97-20 | 38.5 | 39,43 | at Oregon | Five takeaways will win you almost every game. | |
10 | Mississippi State | 1-1 | 77.39 | 54-28 | 13 | at Auburn | So the Bulldogs can score. Who'da thunk it after last week. | ||
11 | Auburn | 2-0 | 55.35 | 69-33 | 18 | Mississippi State | Okay, Auburn, you are definitely better than last year. | ||
12 | Missouri | 2-0 | 47.35 | 96-37 | 29.5 | Sep 21, at Indiana | Turnovers thwarted Toledo's upset bid. Mizzou is fortunate to get this one. | ||
13 | Vanderbilt | 0-1 | 1-1 | 42.45 | 73-42 | 15.5 | at South Carolina | Ate a cupcake, but they didn't allow them to score 28. Just sayin'. | |
14 | Kentucky | 1-1 | 44.03 | 67-42 | 12.5 | Louisville | Significantly improved in every area but penalties and special teams. |
Observations
-
I'm not really sure, at this point, if Texas A&M's defense is good enough to challenge for the West. Yes, Johnny Football is still awesome, but you have to stop somebody.
-
We will find out a lot about both TAMU and Alabama this weekend.
-
Arkansas was significantly less impressive than last week.
-
Is Mizzou really an SEC team, or a Big 12 imposter?
-
Can Kentucky score enough points to win an SEC game with their weakness on defense?
-
LSU just might be deserving of the top spot, but I don't think we've seen enough to dethrone Alabama yet.
-
Is Tennessee that good, or did Western just lay an egg?
What do you think?
