If you remember that Tenn and Florida basically (almost) tied in the Swamp, how much better is Florida than Tenn?  I guess we'll find out.

Auburn could have an argument for 2nd.

Cincy, that was a long time ago.  2 faceplants since then, UT isn't going to be favored against many (if any) SEC teams.

Texas A&M is not a complete train wreck I think.  They competed.

South Carolina with a nice win, but aided a lot by that 4-0 turnover margin.  I should post something some time about the impact of TOs on game outcomes.

Kentucky survives Mizzou, not really a great achievement.  Mizzou had 568 yards offense.

LSU edges UF somewhat improbably.  No TOs by either team.  LSU slight edge in yardage.  UF with missed PAT.

Texas A&M loses TO margin 3-1 and stays sort of within range of Bama.  308 yards against bama is impressive.  I think we have to bump A&M a bit here mostly because most everyone else is dropping.

Tennessee survives a tough bye with coach intact.

UGA is one dimensional at Vandy.   423 rushing yards to 64.  One fumble led to second TD making Smart smart.

A question about UGA is whether they can pass against a good defense.  A second question is whether they will need to, and I think the answer is yes against UF and Auburn.

Auburn basically rolls.  Gave up a lot of yards, some late points.  

1-2-3 looks pretty clear to me.  A&M might merit that coveted fourth spot.  After that you can pretty much randomly place teams except Mizzou.
