This week’s SEC Power Poll may be found, as usual, over at Team Speed Kills. We have our ballots below.
| Will | Glenn | Team | Comments |
| 4 | 1 | Texas A&M | Can these kids score, or can't they? |
| 1 | 2 | Georgia | Can't wait to see what they can do in Columbia. |
| 2 | 3 | Alabama | Okay, so far so good. I don't have enough data to put them higher. |
| 3 | 4 | Auburn | Yeah, well, next week will have me interested. |
| 5 | 5 | LSU | Sam Houston State? Okay, well, good job I guess. |
| 6 | 6 | Mississippi | Impressive. I'm not sure if Vandy is that bad, or if Ole Miss is that good. I'm willing to split the difference. |
| 8 | 7 | Florida | Pretty big numbers against EMU. |
| 7 | 8 | Missouri | Beat UCF by a lot and you'll have my attention. |
| 9 | 9 | South Carolina | Is 1-2 possible? I'm thinking damned likely. |
| 11 | 10 | Tennessee | I'm thinking this wasn't all that impressive. Am I wrong? |
| 10 | 11 | Mississippi State | There might be some vulnerability there, I think. |
| 12 | 12 | Kentucky | Kentucky gets their annual root canal against Florida this weekend, but they are 2-0 |
| 13 | 13 | Arkansas | Heh. Get ready for a surprise next week. |
| 14 | 14 | Vanderbilt | Oh, Vandy. Nice to have you back. |
Just a few additional comments:
-
Texas A&M really is impressing me with their ability to pile up points. Teams like that really put pressure on all but the most sturdy team’s psyche.
-
Georgia really might be the best team in the east, and in the SEC. Saturday will go a long way toward telling.
-
Not many are willing to buy Florida’s win over Eastern Michigan as a sign the Gators are back, but if they stomp UK, well, things are likely to change.
-
Who is Missouri? I was asking the same thing last season, and they showed me emphatically that my doubts were misplaced. I have doubts again. Will they disabuse me of them yet again?
