SEC Power Poll Ballot

No big changes this week despite the big upset in Lexington.
  1. LSU - Still the conference's best team and only legit hope for a national champion. They played flat, committed stupid penalties, their quarterback had a bad game, their best corner got hurt, and they barely got beat by a ranked opponent on the road.
  2. Florida - Got a pass from the season of hysteria this week. Tebow will emotionally recover from the sadness of Baton Rouge to lead the Gators to Lexington.
  3. South Carolina - Shiny Pants continues to make the Cocks look good and frustrating at the same time. Let UNC get back in a game they has total control over. The Cocks can look ugly sometimes, but they keep winning.
  4. Kentucky - Huge, huge win for the Cats. Not only did they fight back after being down, but were able to hang with LSU physically. It used to be that UK was soft and mistake prone, but not anymore. They will fall victim to the same letdown LSU suffered from when the Gator beat them this weekend.
  5. Tennessee - Offense recovered after a sluggish start. Phil is saving his job after two bad losses.
  6. Auburn - Gutted out the most boring game ever. The Aubs worked a minor miracle by holding McFadden and the Hawgs to 67 yards rushing. Brad Lester helps, but the Aubs don't have the offense to win in Baton Rouge.
  7. Georgia - Needed a clutch kick and a fumble from the gods to beat Vandy. The Dawgs will gladly take it and stomp on the logo for good measure. The Dawgs have lots of troubles and have a bye week to work some of them out before a tough home stretch.
  8. Alabama - Needed a mild hose job to get out of Oxford alive. Mistakes late kept the Rebs in it. Bama is average everywhere.
  9. Arkansas - I know Auburn is tough, but are they really that tough? With two of the best backs in the country, the Hawgs could manage only 67 yards rushing. It should make every college football fan mad to see McFadden stuck in that offense. It's like watching Secretariat pull a cart.
  10. Mississippi State - Hung with the Vols despite a freshman quarterback. Despite their improvement, they're unlikely to convert it into wins because of the schedule.
  11. Vanderbilt - Played a great game against the Dawgs, but couldn't finish it out. With one less glaring mistake, the Dores would have won.
  12. Ole Miss - Got screwed by the refs in one of their best performances under the Oge. Greg Hardy played the defensive game of the year so far.

About the whole stomping on the logo thing, I was in Athens this Saturday visiting some people and ran into some of the second and third stringers at Boars Head later that night. One of them told me that they weren't trying to jump on the logo, they were just celebrating the kick, and because of where Coutu was standing, it happened to be on the logo. It wasn't like they were saying "lets stomp on the star" it's more of a coincidence that the star was under their feet when they surrounded coutu to celebrate. btw whats the update on thomas brown?
