Print1. Alabama
2. LSU
A power poll is supposed to be a set of rankings based on which team you think would beat the other team on a neutral field. I seem to remember something like that happening this week.
3. Arkansas
So do they get to play Alabama in a bowl game now?
4. South Carolina
Losing the special-teams coach might not be that big a deal. Losing Ellis Johnson ...
5. Georgia
Still trying to get UNLV added to their conference schedule for 2013.
6. Auburn
With Florida already hiring an offensive coordinator, Mike Shula is still available.
7. Florida
Can Boise State's offense work in the SEC? We're about to find out.
8. Vanderbilt
The next step is to get into the Top 3 in the SEC East. It's not going to be as easy as you might think.
9. Mississippi State
No, I never said that Mississippi State would end up third in the SEC West. What are you talking about?
10. Tennessee
The Vols are behind Vanderbilt and Kentucky in the SEC East standings and the coach is still gainfully employed. It's a long way back to the summit of Rocky Top.
11. Kentucky
It's an odd football season when Kentucky isn't in a bowl, which means it's become an odd era of football for Kentucky.
12. Ole Miss
[Insert Freeze pun]

I find it interesting that
if we had a plus one format, where at the end of the bowl season the two clearly best teams were to play each other in a winner take all game, the paring would be…
Alabama and LSU!!!!
"Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body."

I have said the same thing...
LSU beats Stanford
Alabama beat OSU
Alabama vs LSU in title…
"I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know."
Here is how I see it
1. Alabama – Beat LSU in the big one
2. LSU – can claim that they are the only team to beat the national champ.
3. Arkansas – clearly behind the top two, better than all the rest.
4. South Carolina – a notch behind Arkansas
5. Georgia – losing the bowl game dropped them (stupid kicker!)
6. Auburn – not a bad follow up to the NC year and losing most of that team
7. Florida – Still beating tOSU, maybe things aren’t as out of whack as we thought
8. Missouri – Welcome to the SEC. You did your part by winning your bowl game.
9. Mississippi State – Won their bowl game, but who doesn’t beat the ACC in bowl games?
10. Texas A&M – Almost looked like an SEC team by beating a B1G team in a bowl.
11. Vanderbilt – Vandy, Vandy, Vandy, if you want to be taken seriously you need to beat those Big East teams in the bowl.
12. Kentucky – The highlight? Better than Tennessee and Ole Miss? ewww…
13. Tennessee – Vols could make a big jump next year, but now are looking up at Kentucky (and that isn’t a pretty sight…)
14. Ole Miss – only place for the Ackbars to go is up…or stay in the bottom.

If I had to put the expansion teams in the rankings ...
Missouri goes between Auburn and Florida and Texas A&M would be after Florida.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
