1 - auburn - just getting to many good wins to not put them here for the moment. and they still have the worst of their schedule coming up, starting next weekend @uf. they'll have definitely earned it if they stay here by seasons end.
2 - bama - offense is just getting scary good. defense is struggling a little, but that's mostly the backups after game is well in hand. still, injuries seem to be piling up and even bama's depth chart will strain under that pressure.
3 - lsu - bye week gave them all they could handle, but lsu escapes without a loss.
4 - uga - gets back to back byes with tenn coming to town next weekend.
5 - uf - kinda coasting in the shadows for now, but a big statement can be made beating auburn next week.
6 - mizzou - another team on bye week, but with the way some others around them played, they're getting a bump.
7 - aTm - i guess here by default, though i'm starting to lose a faith that they're a top half sec team quickly.
8 - msu - just got trounced by au, but still better than rest imo.
9 - usc - impressive bounce back win vs uk. thought they'd fall apart, but they didn't. see if they can squeeze out a bowl. up hill battle for it.
10 - ole miss - playing a lot of young guys, and not terribly. still going to be a lot of growing pains for them.
11 - arkansas - might have life yet to get an sec win. probably going to have to be their next game, too.
12 - uk - thought they were going to be decent this year. not looking so good right now. at least they still have arky, tenn and vandy to get a good chance at sec wins.
13 - tenn - by default cause they have a win, albeit a terrible one.
14 - vandy - they be bad, and not in the good-bad way.
