SEC Power Poll: Week 7

It was a crazy week in the SEC and thus, the Power Poll. Let's get right to it (and don't forget to check out the overall results, too):

1. (1) Alabama (idle)
2. (4) Florida (defeated LSU, 51-21)
3. (3) Georgia (defeated Tennessee, 26-14)
4. (2) LSU (lost to Florida, 21-51)

These have been our top four teams for pretty much forever. Florida makes a strong statement by Tebowing the hell out of LSU.

5. (7) South Carolina (defeated Kentucky, 24-17)
6. (5) Vanderbilt (lost to Mississippi St, 14-17)

Here's where things start to get a little wacky. South Carolina has been on a pretty good run lately, but they're far from top 4 material at this point. And maybe Vandy is a little too high after their Crooming last weekend, but nobody else made much of a case to jump into this spot.

7. (7) Mississippi (idle)
8. (6) Auburn (lost to Arkansas, 22-25)
9. (9) Kentucky (lost to South Carolina, 17-24)

A cluster of polling uncertainty.

10. (11) Mississippi State (defeated Vanderbilt, 17-14)
11. (12) Arkansas (defeated Auburn, 25-22)
12. (10) Tennessee (lost to Georgia, 14-26)

The Hogs were poised to move boldly up to 10th, thus giving them a safe cushion from the 12th spot, but the Bulldogs had to go and pull an upset of their own. Damn them! Meanwhile, tough times for the Vols...such a pity.

Your top 4 are solid as a rock. But, last weekend seemed to be a return to form for some and set the stage for the second half for others. Maybe it is one week too soon for a big move and I am a homer but, Arkansas,and South Carolina may be teams on the rise while Auburn and Tenn are headed nowhere fast. Kentucky, Miss St. and Vandy will have to avoid the big let down. I would have been tempted to put Arkansas and Ole Miss up with S. Carolina.

Yeah, what a pity about sucky TN. Heh.
