Time for Week Two of our MrSEC.com Power Poll – presented by FootballSpeakers.com.
Our voters, once again are former SEC players David Bazzell, Chris Doering, Will Overstreet, Tyler Watts, and Stan White. Myself, John Pennington, and our Ace Reporter, Jimmy Hyams, vote on behalf of this website.
Here’s our current ranking of the SEC’s teams from 1 through 12 (with last week’s finish in parenthesis):
1) Florida (1)
2) Georgia (2) – The Bulldogs closed the points gap on Florida, but couldn’t quite catch them.
3) LSU (4) – The Tigers actually benefitted from not playing last week.
4) Auburn (5)
5) Alabama (3) – The Tide took a tumble after their showing against Tulane.
6) Tennessee (6)
7) Ole Miss (9) – A solid jump for the Rebels, almost enough points to pass Tennessee, but not quite.
8) Vanderbilt (10) – A good jump for Vandy, too, but just as in real life, they have a lot of teams to hurdle on their way up the charts.
9) Kentucky (8)
10) South Carolina (7) – The biggest drop of the week.
11) Mississippi State (12) – Apparently one loss to La. Tech isn’t as bad as two nail-biter wins over Western Illinois and La.-Monroe.
12) Arkansas (11)
I think he's smiling because they might have got it right at QB this time. Plus you know, the guy owns Home Depot. That would make me smile everyday of the week.
Arkansas is last in the SEC poll and a 23-24 point underdog this weekend to Texas. I have to think there's a big smile on the face of Falcon's owner Arthur Blank.
I'm a Tennessee fan and I'd say from what I have seen I'd put Ole' Miss at #6. Snead looked like the Real Deal Hollifield last Saturday. I'd also have Kentucky below South Carolina.
When their offense proves they can do something against a D-1 opponent I'll perk up.
