SEC Power Poll, Week 2

A sort of normalcy returned to the conference this week.  I feel as strongly about number fourteen as I do about number one.  Progress of a sorts, I guess.

1. Alabama.  Nick Saban doesn’t know if he’s been “this disappointed after winning a game, maybe ever.”  Coach, please.
2. Texas A&M.  Flat out crushed its cupcake game.  Nothing else to see here, move on.
3. Tennessee.  Started out slow, but took out an opponent that couldn’t get out of its own way for the rest of the game.  Which is what a good team is supposed to do, right?
4. Florida.  Man, the pleasures of an early light schedule.
5. Arkansas.  Enjoyed a nice win over a ranked team.  Let’s see if this is the year the Hogs fulfill their early promise.
6. Ole Miss.  Cruised against an FCS opponent in a yawner of a game.
7. Georgia.  If you’re into hot takes, the Dawgs are giving you a severe case of whiplash.
8. LSU.  Sayonara, Brandon Harris.
9. Mississippi State.  The Bulldogs may have found themselves a quarterback, too.
10. Auburn.  When in doubt, play a team with a bunch of kids who went to the hospital during the week prior to the game.
11. Missouri.  I know it was against Eastern Michigan, but when you consider that the Tigers only broke thirty points once last season, scoring 61 looks like a step up for their offense.
12. Vanderbilt.  Is Ralph Webb the SEC’s best player on a shitty team?  (That was a rhetorical question.)
13. South Carolina.  Boom, you lost by thirteen points to a team that couldn’t get past South Alabama.  The only reason the ‘Cocks aren’t any lower is because…
14. Kentucky.  In a conference full of stupid coaching contract provisions, is there any one stupider than Mark Stoops’ $12 million buyout?
