Week 1
Through 7 September 2009
Here’s my ballot for this week in the SEC Power Poll, along with an feeble attempt at explaining why I’m such a moron. Not a whole lot of ways to separate between some of the teams this early on, but at least I thought up some excuses for my decisions.
Here they are, my darlins:

The Florida Gators pounded the snot out of Charleston Southern, not that this was really a surprise or anything. Up next is Troy, who should be a little more of a challenge … a little. |

The Alabama Crimson Tide looked a bit rusty early on against the Hokies, but came on strong as the clock ticked. Still, I have a lot of questions about their offense, and about what kind of hair gel Nick Saban uses. |
| ALA 34 • VT 24 | |||

The LSU Tigers faced a tough opponent about a billion Cajun miles from home. Washington is far better than they were last year. A nice win on the road for “the Hat.“ |
| LSU 31 • Washington 23 | |||

I really thought that the Ole Miss Rebels would be a little more spectacular against the Gold Teeth Brigade of Memphis, but the Rebs did stretch their legs in the second half, so I’ll chalk it up to first game jitters, or too much barbecue. |

My, oh , my! The fans of the Georgia Bulldogs are ready to eat their own after the loss to Oklahoma State. I wouldn’t put too much worry into it, however, considering that the Cowboys are better than I thought, and Mike Gundy is still “a MAN“… |

Nice debut for the Blackjack General in front of a notably orange-tinged crowd. Could it be that the Tennessee Volunteers have finally turned the corner? |
| UT 63 • WKU 7 | |||

The Auburn Tigers looked solid against an inferior opponent, just like Tennessee. The War Eagles could actually be a surprise to those in the West. Just like how to spell “Chizik” is to the Auburn Athletic Department. |

Well, the Kentucky Wildcats managed a victory to start the season and even got the goose egg. I’m still not convinced that they plan on playing any defense this year, but we’ll see. |

I grew up in Asheville, NC, so I know all about the WCU Catamounts who the Vanderbilt Commodores dismantled. Problem is that the Catamounts are a second-rate, second-tier program at present. I’d have been more impressed if it had been someone like App State. |
| VU 45 • WCU 0 | |||

The South Carolina Gamecocks and the “Ole Ball Coach” with a fair amount of help from the NC State Wolfpack, managed to set offensive football back about forty years. Good God that was ugly… |
| SC 7 • NCSU 3 | |||

I didn’t realize that Missouri State even fielded a football team and judging from their offensive numbers, neither does Missouri State. Interested to see what “Arkansas Razorbacks, The Petrino edition part deux” looks like, but I’m not holding my breath. |

After last season, a win is a win (trust me, as a Vols fan, I mean that). It’s a baby step in the right direction for Dan Mullen and the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Of course Auburn loves to spank babies… |
| MSU 45 • J. St. 7 | |||
What, you were expecting more?
