The days after Armageddon: SEC Rankings (With apologies)
First Alabama – LSU happened.
Then Obama happened.
Sorry boys and gals, we haven’t been as up-to-date as we should be with our SEC rankings. Anyway, here they are…
1. Alabama – Survived LSU. You have to wonder what John Chavis was doing playing soft coverage though in that last drive.
2 = Georgia – Woke up from a 10-0 deficit against Ole Miss to hammer Ole Reb 37-10 in a performance that got stronger by the minute. We look forward to the SEC Championship Game, Dawgs.
2= LSU – A team very like Georgia who only woke up in the second half of the Alabama game. Atmosphere second-to-none in Death Valley, by the way. Good on you, LSU fans.
4. Florida- Sorry for seeming unconvinced by Florida 14, Missouri 7. And don’t tell me that it’s a ‘testament to the power of the SEC’, either. Maybe Jeff Driskel IS overrated.
5. South Carolina – Missing Marcus Lattimore? So are we.
6. Texas A&M – They came, they saw, they conquered Cowbell. The Aggies could frighten Alabama on Saturday afternoon. Or they could implode in the second half, as they have against good teams.
7. Mississippi State – Two good teams, two losses. Just goes to show: Those people who said Dan Mullen’s team was overrated – you were right.
8. Tennessee – If only Tyler Bray had been able to point up these sort of numbers against the likes of Alabama and Florida.
9. Vanderbilt – Beating the crap out of Kentucky shows…..er….nothing.
10. Ole Miss – You taketh 10 points in the Dawg House, and take away 37. Yeowch. However, we’ll go out on a limb and say that we think the Egg Bowl this year is going to be a really good game. And no, we’re not joking.
11. Arkansas – Goodbye, John L.Smith. It was good knowing you. A win versus Tulsa ain’t gonna make us feel any different.
12. Missouri – Courageous loss at Florida, boys. Maybe your defense might be ready for the SEC after all.
13. Auburn – Hey, at least Auburn fans had something to celebrate with the win against New Mexico State. War….(sorry, I’m done now)
14. Kentucky – At last! Goodbye Joker Phillips!
