SEC Power Poll, Week Nine

Our SEC Power Poll ballot. Final results at Team Speed Kills on Wednesday.

1. Florida: Beating your rival efficiently can erase a lot of doubts people have about you. But Florida should realize they beat Georgia in a down year. It was like beating a JV team.

2. Alabama: Defense wins championships, but Bama needed the bye week to fix their passing game. Otherwise, they are running into the same offensive problems that sunk them last season.

3. LSU: Between LSU and Bama's defenses, we might see another 3-2 game Saturday.

4. Auburn: Last week, I had them as 11. Now I have them as 4. That's what happens when you have three dominant teams and nine bums.

5. Tennessee: The best of the .500 teams, Tennessee can win out and finish 5-3 SEC and 8-4 overall. Not bad for Kiffin's first season in a real rebuilding job.

6. Ole Miss: The Rebels handed a win to Auburn with three turnovers. Poor Dexter McCluster got no help and his 186 yards were wasted.

7. South Carolina: I don't think Steve Spurrier can take much more of this. Just let him go home to some golf course so he can piss in the woods in peace.

8. Georgia: Lost in Gouge-gate, a clean play by a Gator actually injured a Bulldog; Major Wright's 4th quarter hit gave A.J. Green a bruised lung.

9. Mississippi State: The dream of 4-4 in the SEC is alive! Come on, Anthony Dixon!

10. Arkansas: Look on the bright side Arky; you're 7th nationally in scoring offense.

11. Kentucky: In their last chance to get people to pay attention to them before basketball starts, they allow 348 yards rushing to Miss State. Well played, sirs.

12. Vanderbilt: This season has been strange, but even Vandy beating UF on Saturday is outside the range of possibilities.

Bama

If Bama can’t pass the ball, LSU will beat them LSU is playing alot better now than they were when UF came to town, that offense has found a groove, and they trust the QB to do more than run QB draws. If Bama comes out and allows the big plays like they did to UT, LSU may very well beat them by two touchdowns, Bama should be on the look out for LSU this week, UT was a finger tip away from beating Bama, that should be a sign for Bama, as well as SC driving the field at will a couple weeks back until they got to the 20, LSU if they can drive at will won’t stall at the 20. Back when LSU played UF i gave LSU grieve because they weren’t playing to the standard of the #4 ranking they had, but now I’ve watched them some more and LSU isn’t the same team that needed a goal line stand to beat Miss State, and way different than the team that needed a late 4th Qrtr defensive stand to beat Washington, if LSU plays those teams now they blow them out. Bama needs to look out and play defense like they did in the first couple weeks of the season if they want that shot at UF in the SEC champ game.
