Topics for discussion
A full wrap-up of Saturday's action will come along Sunday evening, but a few things to think about until then:
If LSU and Auburn are worse than we thought, can anyone challenge Alabama? Auburn lost to Arkansas in a fashion that should, by itself, explain this statement: The Tigers are just not very good this year. Meanwhile, LSU got blown out of the water by Florida in a game that made the Bayou Bengals' offense and defense look suspect. If neither Auburn nor LSU can rebound, there is nothing to keep Alabama from making the SEC Championship Game, and maybe doing so undefeated.
What does the CROOMing of Vanderbilt tell us? Maybe not so much. Mississippi State has done this at least once a year under Sylvester Croom. The biggest indicator of where the Commodores are this year might be that this game was considered an upset. Unless, of course, the wheels fall off now. We'll know soon enough.
Who, exactly, is the SEC East front-runner? The question isn't really clear. Georgia didn't look overly impressive in taking care of Tennessee, but they still looked pretty good. Florida looked very good in demolishing LSU, but has a worse loss than Georgia (Ole Miss). And Vanderbilt has gone down; is that Vandy being Vandy or just another college football upset?
Name the person on this list most likely to still be coaching at their current institution next year: Phil Fulmer, Bobby Johnson, Bobby Petrino, Paul Rhoads and Tommy Tuberville.

List..
1. Bobby Johnson (he’s done more for Vandy then practically any other in the history of the school. Though I suppose he might get hired to a better school)
2. Bobby Petrino (This is his first year there and he’s completely changing the offense. Have to at least give him 2-3 years to get things going I’d think)
The final three are a toss up. If Tuberville goes, Rhoads almost automatically goes, and Fulmer is on a pretty hot seat right now too.

Alabama
I’ve been thinking since the Georgia game that Alabama had the best shot to go undefeated in the SEC. LSU looks very beatable right now and as long as Bama doesn’t slip up, there’s really nobody else that should stand in their way.
Roll Tide!!

jsholt...
Agreed about Alabama. The way things look now, we were the last real challenge and they took it to us. Then again, any given week a team can jump out and play lights out in the SEC, so I wouldn’t hold my breath about being undefeated, but right now there appears to be little to no challenge for ’Bama before Atlanta.
