Lucky vols didn't try to win?

Perhaps, the Vols are lucky that UF didn't try to open up their offense

By the way, how ya doin Jeff?

I agree with Barlis for the most part about his ranking on the SEC. But, i believe that the rebs along with the dawgs absolutely suck this year. I mean how in the world can Georgia lose their opening game to the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Seriously, they are in the SEC they are supposed to be one of the toughest teams to beat in the nation and they just go completely spanked. Now onto the rebs, yeah they have Jevan Sneed who is a good Quarterback and all but how in the world can they lose to south Carolina. But that is all i havee for now. Peace.

They are Pat Dooley's weekly SEC Power Ratings, and yes, y'all would be wise to note the sarcasm of his comment on the Gators being lucky the Vols didn't try to win.

After watching yesterday's games...

1. Alabama Nation's top team
2. Florida Yesterday's injury puts everything in perspective
3. LSU Running game unimpressive in close win
4. Georgia Turnovers killing Dawgs, AJ Green singlehandedly saving them
5. Auburn Surprise of 2009
6. Arkansas Mallet is the real deal
7. South Carolina QB Garcia playing well
8. Ole Miss Poor playcalling hampering team
9. Tennessee Total is less than sum of its parts
10. Miss State Excellent playcalling helping team
11. Kentucky Basketball only two months away
12. Vandy Showed a little offense yesterday, very little

1. UF - unbeaten
2. Alabama - first SEC road game for freshman QB coming up against a pissed UK...I'll buy into them 100% if they scorch UK.
3. LSU- a win at UGA silences the Head Corndog's critics....
4. Auburn- please ram the ball straight up Lame's anal cavity sideways..
5. UGA - if they don't beat LSU, Richt's seat gets much much hotter....
6. South Carolina- if Garcia keeps buying into Spurrier's system, look out
7. Ole Miss - still a good squad, could really have chip on shoulder mentality rest of season
8. Arkansas - Mallet a great talent, need to hold SEC banner high against Big 12 this week
9. Mississippi State- games in Starkville no longer automatic 'W', UF, Bammer, and Ole Miss had better pay attention...have nice chance to pop Houston's bubble and send overrated GT packing as well Saturday.
10. Kentucky- not as bad as indicated against UF, Bammer had better not overlook them this week, or USC the week after that.
11. UT- beating AU a must win for Lame and his mouth, a loss to AU along with LSU upsetting UGA could lead to a real embarrassment on 10/10.
12. Vandy- get pissed off Ole Miss in Nashville Saturday night..bless their hearts...

Week 5 ratings are in ...

1. Florida: Head into bye week awaiting word on Tebow
2. Alabama: Defense impresses in win over Hogs
3. LSU: Barely escape Starkville with a win
4. Georgia: Survived a sloppy game with special teams
5. Auburn: Offense impressive against winless Ball State
6. South Carolina: Defense stout in Ball Coach's signature win
7. Ole Miss: Dropped 17 spots in AP poll after loss
8. Tennessee: Squeezed out close one against Ohio
9. Kentucky: Struggled in every phase against top-ranked UF
10. Arkansas: Offense struggles in loss to Tide
11. Mississippi State: Showed heart in a narrow loss to LSU
12. Vanderbilt: Quarterback questions loom

Week 6 ratings are in ...

1. Florida: Back up on the Alabama love
2. Alabama: Collision course for Atlanta?
3. LSU: Unimpressive but unbeaten for The Hat
4. Auburn: How could everybody have been so wrong?
5. Ole Miss: Under the radar and dreaming
6. Georgia: What if? What if? What if?
7. South Carolina: Gamies struggle with bad teams
8. Arkansas: Razorbacks seeking first conference win
9. Mississippi State: Improved but still not good
10. Tennessee: Another moral victory for Vols
11. Kentucky: Go beat somebody
12. Vanderbilt: One of Bobby Johnson's worst teams

So that was funny. I can see the Vols losing the next three to start 0-5 in the SEC with lots of moral victories.

Bama is not impressive at all. They have three very good players on offense. Tight end, Julio, and Ingram. IF bama and Gators make it to Atlanta, the gators speed will overwhelm the Tide.

Bama is a good team, no doubt about that. However they have not played teams that could hang with them. KY put up 20 on them. I believe KY was very fortunate to score 7 on us.

We will find out as the season goes on. Gators need to turn their thought to the Hogs. Watched the game yesterday and they can score. I am hoping the team does not get to carried away with Homecoming this week and keeps their ears flattened back and come after these guys.

I can see the possibility of the running game going over 350 yards and the passing to put up 200 + yards against Arky.

Week 7 ratings are in ...

1. Florida: Impressive in a difficult atmosphere
2. Alabama: Maybe we should make this 1A
3. LSU: Les Miles has some things to straighten out
4. South Carolina: We've seen the Gamecocks here before
5. Auburn: Were Tigers exposed last week or just had a bad game?
6. Arkansas: Best win of the Bobby Petrino Era
7. Georgia: Oh my, Mark Richt. What is going on in Athens?
8. Tennessee: Back from the dead, we'll see if Vols stay alive
9. Ole Miss: Biggest win so far? At Vanderbilt
10. Mississippi State: The year of almost for Bulldogs
11. Kentucky: Not what Rich Brooks envisioned for 2009
12. Vanderbilt: Uh, you really lost to Army? Really?

What say you?

No really good arguments against any of thease placements. I think Ole Miss is better than they have shown and may end uo at #4 or #5, but they have yet to prove it.

Georgia is still ahead of Tennessee?
After UT manhandled them? What's up with that?
I hate Georgia.

1. Alabama: Simply played better than anyone so far this year.
2. Florida: Offense is not explosive, Defense is best in America.
T3. Auburn: Third best body of work in the conference with good wins over WVU and at Tennessee.
T3. LSU: Young quarterback belies struggles on offense. Defense is pretty solid, except for third and Chavis.
5. Tennessee: Getting stronger by the week.
6. South Carolina: About to enter a pronouced losing streak.
T7. Georgia: Getting worse by the week. No QB and no ground game puts too much pressure on defense and AJ Green.
T7. Arkansas: Horrible defense, but looked great against weary Auburn.
9. Ole Miss: Bust city. Nice defense, but Cromptonesque (pre-Georgia) performance so far from Sneed.
10. Mississippi State: Should have beaten LSU, team on the rise.
11. Kentucky: Bad.
12. Vanderbilt: Horrific

Let's hear from you ...

Having the Vols ranked behind two teams that they have dismantled in the last three weeks is pretty stupid, Jeff. Try again.
