SEC Power Poll: Week 7

One more week of football in the history books means another ballot in the SEC Power Poll. As always, please remember to visit Garnet and Black Attack Tuesday morning to see the poll results.

1. LSU

Still the most talented team even if they lost on Saturday. Les Miles might even lose two in a row, which would have the Tiger faithful rethinking their anti-Saban ways.

2. Kentucky

Kentucky went from being “Oh, how nice. Kentucky might win 9 games” to “KENTUCKY IS A CONTENDER! REPENT! REPENT! THE 5th HORSEMAN THAT IS RICH BROOKS IS COMING FOR OUR SOULS!”

3. South Carolina

Smelley and the Blowfish keep on keepin’ on.

4. Auburn

They helped to set back the forward pass 40 years, but they did enough to win the game. I imagine Tubby will be giving Lester fits in Red Stick come Saturday night.

5. Florida

Rough off week for the Gators after that tragic loss of life. God bless his family.

6. Tennessee

Erik Ainge is freaky accurate this year. Color me worried (which is my normal face…. but with a worried expression).

7. Georgia

The first part of getting back on the horse is to put one foot in the stirrup. A win is a win fellas.

8. Alabama

Saban and company got out by a thread. Still, Saban is now 5-1 against Ole Miss, and I get to enjoy 4-0 record against them in college. Not too shabby. Next week is HUGE now.

9. Arkansas

They’ve lost 2 games towards the end by a total of 5 points. Ouch.

10. Mississippi State

Don’t stop….. believin’

11. Vanderbilt

Too bad an interesting game had to be over-shadowed since it went up against LSU @ Kentucky and Auburn @ Arkansas.

12. Ole Miss

Fans threw stuff and a Bama assistant coach might have been punched in the face. AKA a normal day in Oxford for the Coach O.

Tennessee Week

Even though people may want to talk about the Ole Miss ending last weekend, I am officially done discussing it from here on out. It is time for UT @ Bama….. at 11:30 am.

What amazes me about this AM kick-off is the fact that for the first time in a while, both teams are having pretty decent seasons. The same could not be said these last 2 seasons (2005 UT and 2006 Bama were both mediocre teams, although they ended up on CBS). Now we have to deal with the army of Daves as LF Sports comes to town *grumbles due to hatred of watching LF Sports games*

I’m never been much of a smack talker, but I may make an exception this week. The insults will be hard and heavy from both sides, so don’t freak out when you see 20 billion pictures of Nick Saban or Bear Bryant. Check out the Vol Blogs on the side all week long to see the big orange perspective.

One warning, expect to see plenty of this on Saturday morning:

Stay safe, act smart, and remember that the Great Pumpkin arrives in Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

Run Linus!
