1.  The SEC has named its Players of the Week.

2.  Florida should be a lot healthier as it prepares for it’s battle with Georgia.

3.  Will Muschamp expects John Brantley to practice today and to play on Saturday.

4.  Georgia will counter with the return of safety-turned-linebacker Alec Ogletree.

5.  For Mark Richt, ending a three-game losing streak to the Gators is of major importance.

6.  Another man’s down in Lexington — UK running back Raymond Sanders will likely miss the Cats’ game with Mississippi State due to a high ankle sprain.

7.  Kentucky fans stayed away from Saturday’s game with Jacksonville State in droves.  (Photo included.  Just brutal.)

8.  South Carolina and Georgia appear — for now — to be locked in a two-team race for the East Division title.

9.  Steve Spurrier now says he’ll speak with the media even if writer Ron Morris is present.  (This will lead many to say that his harangue against Morris was clearly meant to be a smokescreen for the Stephen Garcia dismissal, but it could be that school president Harris Pastides intervened.)

10.  A day after burning quarterback Justin Worley’s redshirt in a 31-point loss to Alabama, Tennessee’s Derek Dooley says he has no idea how he’ll use the freshman from here out.  (Dooley seems to have a little Spurrier in him when it comes to making emotional in-game decisions.)

11.  A check of the messageboards showed this writer Vol fans’ patience is wearing thin.

12.  Vanderbilt tallied 530 yards (344 on the ground) to beat Army and snap a three-game losing streak on Saturday.
