Well week 1 did not disappoint. It just feels right to wake up on saturdays again and have a full day. A few shakes up in the SEC that made me reconsider my rankings. So here is the new list:

14. Kentucky   (Previous Rank:14)
Nothing about their performance gave you any hope for this year. They have one of the worst defenses I've seen in the SEC in a long time. It's gonna be a long year for the Wildcats.

13. Ole Miss   (Previous Rank: 13)
After a shaky first half he Rebels were MUCH improved under first year head Coach Hugh Freeze. Bo Wallace looked very poised to have a great year. A stat that is of concern is the 1st and 2nd string QBs were the leading rushers. A RB has to step up to have any kind of consistent season.

12. Florida   (Previous Rank: 8)
I know it seems dramatic to drop the Gators this much, but they were awful. Muschamp handled this QB situation just terribly. I can not say it enough: 2 QB SYSTEMS DO NOT WORK IN THE SEC.

11. Vanderbilt   (Previous Rank: 12)
Not often does a loss move you up in the ranks but I think the Dores, although they came up short, showed they could be a quality team this year.

10. Texas A&M   (Previous Rank: 10)
Didn't play, so I didn't move them.

9. Missouri   (Previous Rank: 9)
The Tigers looked solid against a cupcake, but we'll learn much more about them this week hosting the Georgia Bulldogs.

8. Auburn   (Previous Rank: 7)
The Tigers really struggled to find their identity on offense against Clemson, however the defense held their own. If the Tigers can find more consistent QB play, expect this ranking to go up before years end.

7. Tennessee   (Previous Rank: 11)
The Vols make the biggest jump this week. Tyler Bray and Cordarrelle Patterson's are studs.

6. Mississippi State   (Previous Rank: 6)
The Bulldogs did what they had to do against a cupcake team. The OL held their own against a sold JSU defensive line. But both Tyler Russell and the defensive secondary looked shaky. The real test comes this week hosting the Auburn Tigers.

5. South Carolina   (Previous Rank: 4)
While the Gamecocks defense looked amazing, the offense looked equally as bad. Both Connor Shaw and the Offensive line have got to step their game up.

4. Arkansas   (Previous Rank: 5)
Solid start for the Hogs against a cupcake. However the defense did give up a bunch of points. Could be an issue in the SEC.

3. Georgia   (Previous Rank: 3)
The Bulldogs took care of business at home. Many wondered how easily they could replace Isaiah Crowell after he was dismissed. But the Dawgs did it by committee and they look just fine.

2. LSU   (Previous Rank: 1)
The LSU offense looks like it might be there this year to go with their stunning defense. If that is the case, we should all be scared.

1. Alabama   (Previous Rank: 2)
The Tide earned their spot at #1 with the absolute beat down of Michigan. It's almost unfair how easily they reload after losing so many key players from last year. What a testament to how great of a coach Nick Saban really is.
