1. Alabama - If they get by Ole Miss, there should be no reason they don't roll into Baton Rouge undefeated for the glowing, pulsating cauldron of hate that will be Bama - LSU.
2. Florida - That's how that offense is supposed to work. The Gators embarrassed a defensive line that was hyped as one of the best in the history of college football with wide line splits and miniature running backs. It was scary stuff.
3. Georgia -More muddling from UGA's offense. At the rate they are going through offensive tackles, I expect Stafford to be lined up there by the Georgia Tech game.
4. LSU -Now you know how Georgia fans felt at halftime of the Alabama game. LSU isn't that bad, but they have some flaws (passing and stopping the pass) that may not be fixable. That D line's reputation took a big hit giving up over 250 yard rushing.
5. South Carolina -All of a sudden, Carolina looks competitive, just in time for a visit from LSU. Garcia may be entrenched (or at least as entrenched as a Spurrier QB can hope to become) after a solid performance against Kentucky.
6. Vanderbilt - The 'Dores got 107 yards of total offense and ran for only 45 yards against a bad running defense. The task gets taller Saturday in Athens, but Vandy has won a 12:30 kickoff between the hedges recently.
7. Ole Miss - I expect a tight game in Tuscaloosa based on how Nutt teams typically play Bama and that Nutt wins games he shouldn't and loses games he shouldn't. On paper, this is a game that Ole Miss should lose terribly, thus Nutt will play it close or win.
8. Kentucky -Needs a conference win badly.
9. Mississippi State -Here come Croom's dogs. After a big win over a ranked opponent, do I dare forget the horrible performances earlier this year? Can MSU generate enough offense to get to Shreveport?
10. Arkansas -After weeks of saying the Hawgs wouldn't win another game this year, Auburn makes me look bad.
11. Tennessee -The Vols are a total mystery. They have good running backs, a solid offensive line, a great defensive line and Eric Berry. How can all of that look so, so bad? I don't know, but I like it.
12. Auburn - Oy.
