Every team ends up in the exact same position in our poll that they were last week. Sure, a couple of votes and margin might have changed, but nobody's going anywhere. That's not likely to change after a largely blah schedule this weekend.
Voters?
ALABAMA
Considering how Nick Saban usually reacts the weekend after he's lost a game, only beating Mississippi State by 17 seemed downright neighborly.--SBN Atlanta
All right, show of hands. Who here won a conference road game this weekend? Keep ‘em up high while we count.--Dawg Sports
ARKANSAS
Sealclubbing Tennessee is no great achievement. We'll see if they don't come to paint in Baton Rouge in a couple of weeks.--Get the Picture
Saturday was payback for that Clint Stoerner fumble back in 1998.--Dawg Sports
AUBURN
Gus Malzahn sure looked a lot smarter when Cam Newton was taking the snaps.--Get the Picture
Way to play for pride against one of your biggest rivals. If that's a sign, Bama's gonna beat Auburn by 50 points.--And The Valley Shook
FLORIDA
Raise your hand if you ever thought Florida would be sweating bowl eligibility all the way up until a Week 12 game against Furman. Yeah, my hand's not up, either.--SBN Atlanta
HOORAY FOR FIELD GOALS. Worst SEC record since 1979.--Hog Database
GEORGIA
I had to delete the rough draft I had written of Richt's professional obituary.--And The Valley Shook
So since Mark Richt is now safe, does that mean that we Rebels can get Kirby Smart now?--Red Cup Rebellion
KENTUCKY
I guess that makes Joker Phillips the first black SEC head coach to lose to another black SEC head coach.--Get the Picture
Losing 38-8 to Vanderbilt was Kentucky's way of saying that while they're terrible at most aspects of football, they're money on two-point conversions.--SBN Atlanta
LSU
The Tigers beat Western Kentucky (42-9) a little more handily than Kentucky did (14-3). Maybe that's what separates the top from the bottom of the conference in Muschamp's mind.--Get the Picture
Fans are flipping out over a 33 point blowout win on the heels of an emotionally and physically draining game. The bar has been raised.--And The Valley Shook
MISSISSIPPI
Lost to a Louisiana school so badly they pulled their starters in the fourth quarter ... perfect practice for the LSU game.--And The Valley Shook
Houton Nutt loves to remind Ole Miss fans about how, before 2009, it had been 50 years since the Rebs went to back-to-back NYD bowls. Well, Coach, might I remind you that it's been 65 years since the Rebs last lost to LA Tech?--Red Cup Rebellion
MISSISSIPPI STATE
Mississippi State still can't figure out what they want to do. Horrible mess that Mullen has created.--Hog Database
Dan Mullen should've taken the Florida job. Then he wouldn't be stuck at .500 overall with a losing record in conference play. Oh, wait ...--Dawg Sports
SOUTH CAROLINA
Sweep the East but no cigar.--Leftover Hot Dog
This team is continuing to win in November, despite the loss of key players. How often has that been said of South Carolina?--Dawg Sports
TENNESSEE
In the preseason, I doubt even the most pessimistic Vol fan saw a first-ever 0-6 start in conference play and UT opening as a one-point dog at home to Vanderbilt coming.--Get the Picture
Even the orange pants can not help in 2011.--Leftover Hot Dog
VANDERBILT
What's more bizarre: The fact that the Commodores are favored by a point over Tennessee in Knoxville, or the fact that it feels like it should be more?--SBN Atlanta
The Commies officially pounded the ‘Cats straight into basketball season, which is odd, because Cleveland State officially pounded Vandy straight out of basketball season.--Dawg Sports
