SEC Football Blog’s SEC Power Rankings

Here are our SEC Football Blog Power Rankings after Week 1 of the season.

1. Alabama — They are going to be OK with Derrick Henry running behind that offensive line.
2. Texas A&M  — Playing to a home crowd at Kyle Field Houston certainly helped. A lot. But this defense, led by Myles Garrett, was looking changed, talented and great.
3. Georgia — If they stay healthy, Nick Chubb, Keith Marshall and Sony Michel will be a three-headed running back monster for SEC defenses to stop.
4. Auburn — Fell to pieces at the end of the Louisville game. Was it tiredness or not giving a crap? Anyway, the Tigers are going to have to improve both in a loaded SEC West.
5. Ole Miss — The defense is fantastic. So is the thought of Robert Nkemdiche as a running back.
6. Arkansas — We’re not going to be giving out Heismans for Brandon Allen’s good showing against UTEP, but it was certainly a big positive.
7. LSU — No game at Tiger Stadium, but I still think the Tigers are better than Mississippi State next week.
8. Florida — At the moment, I trust Florida’s offense more than I trust Tennessee’s defense. Mind you, I trust Bernie Madoff’s defense more than I trust Tennessee’s defense.
9. Missouri — The Tigers looked as fine as you can against a team that most people haven’t heard of.
10. Mississippi State — Mississippi State survived Southern Miss. That’s not a positive thing.
11. Tennessee — Offense is great. Defense is awful. It will be entertaining.
12. Kentucky — 33 points given up against Louisiana-Lafayette shows how much they are missing Bud Dupree.
13. South Carolina — A win’s a win, but gosh it was ugly against North Carolina.
14. Vanderbilt — This is a very poor team.
