The chaos continues. The West is manageable. LSU looks sure to go to Atlanta, unless Saban trips them up and I think that's unlikely. The East is wide open.
- LSU - Looked vulnerable early, but roared back to dominate the second half. Lester made a ballsy call, but it is getting way too much attention as a game breaker. Risky? Sure, but every play is. There are only two logical calls there. Run to position the kick or take a shot at 6. The receiver caught it with :04 left. If deflected, it would have needed to go to the moon to run the clock out. The real wonder is how that team gets behind late.
- Florida - Showed they can win a shootout on the road. Will the injuries slow down the Gators in Jacksonville or will Tebow's bruised shoulder just mean that Harvin will torment the Dawgs instead of Timmy?
- Kentucky - Yeah, I know they lost, but they still hung around with the Gators after the most emotional win in recent program history. Woodson continues to look good, which makes his performance in Columbia even more confusing.
- Auburn - Another team that moved up after a loss. Frankly, they shouldn't have lost, but Tubs made a crucial error by squibbing after the Aubs took the lead. Brandon Cox looked good, officially making him the most inconsistent quarterback in SEC history.
- Alabama - Just after I called them "average everywhere," John Parker Wilson puts together a monster game against a good opponent. Bama's offense is just like Auburn's or Georgia's, average as a rule, but can light it up if their quarterback is on.
- South Carolina - Shiny Pants now feels the kick of losing to Vandy. What hurts more is gaining only 195 total yards. Spurrier used to put up 195 in a quarter.
- Tennessee - Just when you thought Phillip was safe, he lays an egg. Alabama, hitting on all cylinders, rolled UT like the Big Orange, hitting on all cylinders, rolled Georgia two weeks ago.
- Georgia - Dawgs get a week off before the annual bloodletting in Jacksonville. Will the rest make any difference?
- Arkansas - Now that's the Arkansas team we thought we were getting this year. Big performances by DMac, Felix Jones, and even Casey Dick threw for scores on misdirection plays. The problem is that it is way too late in the season for the Hawgs wake up to make a difference.
- Vanderbilt - Why can't the Dores play like that at home? Every big upset they've pulled seems like it happens on the road. Vandy always has a competent, pesky team, but they always seem to screw a game up somehow. They didn't screw up against the Cocks.
- Mississippi State - Got rolled in Morgantown against a way better team.
- Ole Miss - Ouch. Colonel Reb served up a big ole bucket of slop for the Hawgs. When Oge is turning back to Brent Schaeffer at QB at the end of the game, you can imagine how bad it was for the Rebs.

The Dawgs need to get it together! If I have to hear one more thing about the almighty tebow im going to break something!
Anon 10:30,
I would recommend Lhasa, Tibet or Abalak, Niger. You can probably get internet at the former, but I am pretty sure you won't have any media access in the latter.
Florida:New York Yankees as Tebow:A-Rod
Gimme a break - I can't believe you still have SCU ranked that high. They haven't scored a touchdown since the first quarter of the game with the tarheels - not to mention the fact that they couldn't get into their own damn endzone. BOTH qbs were sacked a combined 7 times against Vandy. They averaged 1.2 yards per carry Saturday. And for 2 weeks straight they're 1 for 12 on third down.
Their D was good at the first of the year, but they've been exposed. They are not a balanced team and can't do anything offensively.
Yet you still have them ranked in the middle of the pack...maybe getting throttled by a "got to save our asses" UT team will do something to get them lowered in your poll.
I agree that Miles' call is getting way too much attention. The clock ran for three seconds after the catch! Now let's take care of business in Jacksonvile.
You gotta rank the Dawgs above UT. I know they killed us, but if you look at the season as a whole, UT has sucked except for that one day. and UGA has never played like that under Richt. One day of glory doesn't make you a good team, and I still believe the fighting fulmers are the 5th best team in the east, maybe even the 6th.
