Well, considering that I have the Alabama Crimson Tide at No. 1 in my BlogPoll Ballot, it stands to reason that they will also be No. 1 in my Power Poll Ballot.

Well, it makes sense to me…

The Florida Gators absolutely dismantled the Bayou Bengals this past weekend, in precisely the way I did not predict. Shows what I know. That was not the same Florida team that beat Tennessee — The Gators look tough again.

Well, the Georgia Bulldogs handled the Vols without much difficulty this weekend — not that doing that is really something special at present. The Dawgs looked tough, but very sloppy. If they could just maintain their focus, they could be terrors.

The Vanderbilt Commodores went out this past weekend and laid an egg. They are really going to wish they had taken care of business versus the Cowbell Clan — wins will not come easily from this point forward. Still, they are tied for the lead in the East.

The LSU Tigers pretty much get this spot by default, since there is a huge drop-off after No. 5. After losing so convincingly this weekend versus the Gators, I wonder: is this all part of some bizarre plan on the part of “The Hat?” Well, at least the Golden Band from Tigerland won the Indiana Jones contest…

The South Carolina Gamecocks beat Kentucky on Saturday. Then arch-rival Clemson canned their coach on Monday. To top it off, it’s after 1:00am on Tuesday morning, and no one on scholarship has gotten arrested yet. Yep, it’s a pretty good week to be in Columbia.

Of course next week looks like back to “suck” as those other Tigers come to town.

The Kentucky Wildcats have no excuse for losing to the Gamecocks. At least now they get to make up for it by pounding on Arkansas.

I had the Auburn Tigers as my pick to win the West. The Tigers’ loss to Arkansas the week after dropping a game to Vandy makes me think that I could, just possibly, be wrong.

Apparently, Auburn has yet to figure out that you have to score points to win games.

The Ole Miss Rebels have been playing well but have struggled to find consistency. This week, however, I think they will find it — by losing to Alabama.

Still, the Rebs are far better than last year.

How the Mississippi State Bulldogs managed to beat Vanderbilt is beyond me. Still, a nice win for Coach Sly. Given the way things have been going, they have a decent shot at picking up another in Knoxville this week.

A decade ago, the Bulldogs played the Vols for the SEC Championship — how things have changed.

After the Arkansas Razorbacks beat Auburn this past weekend, Bobby Petrino has decided to leave while on top, and will be taking the Clemson job. Considering they will be changing the name of the state to “South Petrinolina” and he will be referred to as “Lord and Emperor,” do you blame him?

Oh my! I never thought I would see the day. Despite strong improvement at Quarterback, the Tennessee Volunteers still fell short against the Dawgs. At most I see the Big Orange winning 1, maybe 2, conference games and finishing with (at best) a 5-7 record.

Lose to Miss. State this weekend, and it looks more like 3-9.
