SEC Power Poll Ballot, Week Three

1. Alabama: Sims is getting comfortable with handing the ball off, which means Saban will have to tackle Kiffin at some point Saturday to stop him from throwing down field on all downs.
2. Texas A&M: Who needs defense when you can score 40 at will?
3. Auburn: Least inspiring off week of the year, but there is still time for an arrest before a trip to Kansas State Thursday night.
4. LSU: As long as the Tigers let Fournette grind out 5ypc they'll be fine. Can they let him?
5. Georgia: As long as Gurley is healthy, it won't be 2013 redux despite a defense that has the potential to be either great or mediocre. Come to think of it, that is another reason it won't be 2013 redux.
6. South Carolina: The Gamecocks feel like the 2013 Georgia Bulldogs. The key to not being 8-5 will be finding ways to outscore opponents.
7. Ole Miss: I'm still not convinced the Rebels are the real deal. While I'd love to go to Tunica with Dr. Bo, I'd hate to have him starting at QB vs. a competent SEC defense.
8. Missouri: Chopping wood seems to be Mizzou's game plan. That got them a division title last year.
9. Mississippi State: Still dinging them for the UAB game might not be fair, but it is what we do in the middle.
10. Arkansas: Hardest team of the week to place. Texas Tech hasn't looked great, but a road win against a Big 12 team is still nothing to sneeze at.
11. Florida: Beneficiary of home cooking calls to avoid having JoJo Kemp's words be more prophetic than hubris is no way to go through life, son.
12. Kentucky: Good job. Good effort.
13. Tennessee: Avoided a slaughter on the road to Oklahoma might be the nicest thing you can say about the Vols so far this season.
14. Vandy: Vandy gets their one win.
