Week 2 SEC rankings

Other than moving Georgia to the top our SEC ranking dont show much in the way of change. We should get a clearer picture of who the bottom dwellers in the SEC are after the Georgia-South Carolina and Auburn-Mississippi St games.

1. Georgia — Ok now the Dawgs start getting to the meat of their schedule rather than chewing on bones thrown to them. South Carolinas defense should prove more of a challenge to the Dawgs but their offense will kill SC. Its hard not to rank them at the top of the SEC right now.

2. Florida — Miami made the Gators look beatable. Tim Tebow kept them in the game with his running but the offense didnt look all that great. The Gators defense is looking much better than they did last year.

3. LSU — They didnt play Saturday but the Tigers are still better than the rest of the SEC.

4. Auburn — The Tigers look like they are gelling at the quarterback position and learning the offense. Playing a suddenly bad looking Mississippi St. team even at the Bulldogs home shouldnt be a problem for the Tigers.

5. Alabama — Alabama looked like they decided to take a nap against Tulane. Nap this week against Western Kentucky and people will begin to wonder if their first win wasnt a fluke.

6. Vanderbilt — Ranking Vandy this high might be a stretch but they are in the 6 to 8 range.

7. Kentucky — Their defense is the real deal, having given up only three points in the first two games. Randall Cobb made the offense look much better and baring a loss to a capable Middle Tennessee team and the Cats should be 4-0 going into the Alabama game.

8. Ole Miss — Even though the Rebels lost they are still a good team and if their defense can manage to improve they will be a team to recon with in the SEC west. Their offense looks solid and will continue to improve.

9. Tennessee — Im moving the Vols up only because South Carolina looked so bad against Vandy. They could easily be 2-4 to start the season.

10. Miss. State — The Bulldogs won against won easily against Southeastern Louisiana but are going to have to do better if they want to move up next week.

11. South Carolina — Is there a offence for the gamecocks. The game this weekend is either a make or brake game for the Gamecocks. If the coaching staff cant manage to get them to rise to the occasion against the Dawgs.

12. Arkansas — 2-0 to start the season and ranked last. Texas will be the first to show how weak the Hogs really are.

Top 25 Voters Tomorrow

Its evening here and I have broken out a ice crusted beer bottle to make my predictions on what the AP top 25 voters will do tomorrow. To get who we all care about Kentucky won’t crack the top 25 and Tennessee wil stay in the top 25. The three reasons Tennessee does are because they lost to a PAC 10 team, they play in the SEC, they are named Tennessee and their coach is named Fulmar. Thats four but Tennessee is use help with grades.

There won’t be much change at the top this week. Clemson doesn’t drop out of the top 29 because untill someone in the ACC proves different they are still the best in the league. Miami might prove that next saturday when they play Florica. Wake Forest moves up a couple of spots.

Alabama moves to 12 and Auburn moves into the top 10,

Pittsburg and Illinois drop out of the top 25. BCS buster candidates Fresno St crack’s the top 25 after a convincing win over Rutgers. The last spot goes to Uiah for winning at the stadium formerly known as the big house and now known as louserville2.
