Ballotry: Half of the SEC Power Poll Ballot

1. LSU Tigers
Dropped anvils, trucks and kitchen sinks on Kentucky in a dominating win.

2. Alabama Crimson Tide
Welcome to the Southeastern Conference, Jeff Driskel.

3. Arkansas Razorbacks
There really isn't a No 3 in the SEC, so they'll do.

4. Florida Gators
I'm not sure there's even really a No. 4, but we'll put Florida here for reasons I can't even entirely explain.

5. Auburn Tigers
So did they luck into a win, lose a race to lose the game Saturday or prove that they're an actual contender of some sort in the SEC West? We might find out this weekend against Arkansas.

Star-divide

6. South Carolina Gamecocks
This team is composed entirely of a wide receiver, a running back and a defensive line. That's not going to win you a lot of games when the other team has 22 guys taking the field.

7. Georgia Bulldogs
Looks like the season isn't over after all.

8. Tennessee Volunteers
If they only had an injured receiving corps

9. Vanderbilt Commodores
Hey, the SEC East is as wide-open as it's ever been.

10. Mississippi St. Bulldogs
MORE COWBELL!

11. Mississippi Rebels
Not to go bursting too many bubbles here, but they beat Fresno State last year as well.

12. Kentucky Wildcats
This is, for my money, still the worst team in the SEC. Yes, worse than Ole Miss.

Is it just me, or other than the big 2, does the SEC kind of stink this year?

I’m with you. This feels a lot like 2008-09 when Alabama and Florida were clearly ahead of everyone else by a wide margin. I’m not sure though if the rest are really good but look bad compared to the big 2 or if they are all average to below average teams.

Eh...

You guys woulda gone nuts in the mid to late 90s if you think this is a two team race.

I wouldn't go that far

To say that the league (outside of ‘Bama & LSU) is bad this season. I mean, there’s some definite flaws in #3-7 above, but when isn’t there? Even though I’m not even an SEC fan, I’ll readily admit South Carolina could win the Big East and maybe the ACC, too (it’s either them or Clemson). I think the problem is that it’s rarely a two-horse race (usually several dominant teams in both divisions), which is why everyone’s so surprised when they look at the standings this year. Still think everyone #1-6 gets at least eight wins though (probably more — especially for the Tigers and Tide).

Co-signed

This is the same order I’d put the teams in.
