14. Kentucky- Seeing this team play live, I can tell you things are much worse than originally thought. The score against the bulldogs did not reflect how one sided of a game this was. Joker Philips is a sitting duck, which is absolutely no fun to watch. It's sad to see a half empty stadium in the SEC and those who are there were unenthusiastic, just counting down the days until basketball season. This thing has no signs of getting better before years end.
13. Auburn- This is comical at this point, and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. Chizik looks completely lost on the field. They have no QB, they have no team unity and most importantly they seem to not care. I think no matter what happens, Gene has one more year, but if he isn't careful, he might be unemployed come December.
12. Arkansas- Oh just when you think this year couldn't get any weird, John L. Smith files for bankruptcy and in the same week takes his Hogs on the road in the SEC and gets a win. I have no input on how or why, just please enjoy him while you can. The man is crazy.
11. Missouri- This is unexcusable. To not be prepared for a team you are clearly better than at home is absurd. Welcome to the SEC...again.
10. Vanderbilt- James Franklin is still a good coach and he reminded everyone of that Saturday. To take a team that was struggling on the road and steal a win in the SEC is very impressive. They can right this ship and sneak into a bowl.
9. Ole Miss- Heartbreaking. That is the only word that comes to mind. To force 6 turnovers, dominate for 60 minutes and walk away with a loss is just silly. This loss lays squarely on the shoulders of Hugh Freeze. Which leads me to some advice for the coach. If your QB is 6'6", and you need half an inch for a first down, put him under center AND SNEAK THE BALL!!! I'm interested to see if they can recover from this loss. This is the kind of thing that can alter a season in a very very bad way.
8. Texas A&M- It says a lot about a team to never give up, even when things don't look good. The Aggies are very lucky to get out of Oxford with the W, but they did. Johnny Football is one of the most electric players in the SEC to watch. The kid makes plays. I'm starting to think this team is much better than we first expected. If they can find a way to patch up the defensive secondary, they could be dangerous down the stretch.
7. Tennessee- The Vols were off this week, but I bet Dooley did something to make more people hate them.
6. Mississippi State- The bulldogs still looked unenthusiastic at some points during the game, but make no mistake about it, they dominated from beginning to end. Tyler Russell once again looked very sharp and seemed to find somewhat of a rhythm. Offensive line still looked shaky, but when you play a defense that has completely sold out on stopping the run, that is to be expected. Now that the Bulldogs have slept-walked to 5-0 start, it's time to wake up and to see if these guys are for real going into the heart of the schedule.
5. Georgia- Simply embarrassing. Georgia just looked completely overmatched in every facet of the game, from beginning to end. Aaron Murray seems to have no idea how to perform in a big game. It's all just puzzling. Mark Richt seems to let this happen all too often. Georgia better regroup quickly and not let this ruin their season. They are too talented not to.
4. LSU- It's a shame that a defense as talented as the Tiger's has ZERO offense to compliment. Mettenburger looks lost on every snap, as well does his offensive line. No one is stepping up to be a play maker. Something better change and change quickly, because this schedule is about to get brutal.
3. Florida- The Gators might just be back. They played typical Will Muschamp style football: hit you in the mouth over and over again. With a defensive effort like they had saturday, you allow your young offense to do just enough to set you up with success. Look out SEC East, Florida is ready to be back to the glory days.
2. South Carolina- What a dominating performance. For the first time all season, the Gamecocks looked truly inspired and just beat the hell out of Georgia in every area of the game. This defense impresses me more and more each week. Clowney, in my opinion, is the best defensive player in the nation. You can't stop the kid. And what is really scary, the offense, which had looked mediocre all year, looked explosive. If this trend continues, the Gamecocks are set up for a date in Atlanta in December.
1. Alabama- The Tide had an off week. Now I have no idea what Nick Saban did, but I imagine he was miserable the whole time.
