SEC Week 6 Power Poll

And we shall call him Tyler the Creator...what do you mean it's taken? He's better anyway.
SEC Week 6 Power Poll
If there is a narrative to be set, it’s that the SEC is back to its 2009 levels of Big 2 and little ten, and that the first weekend in November promises to throw the most brutalist bricks of defense. Also, it leaves us with the unanswered question of “if Ole Miss didn’t win, would Houston Nutt have been left in Fresno?”
Suffice it to say, it’s similar, but some results will be unexpected.
1. LSU (The only drama they had last week was when Kentucky was driving for the spread covering touchdown. And the gift basket for getting Florida being fronted by a true freshman is in the mail.)
2. Alabama (The defense may be better than LSU’s. And I don’t think this is a team that can get got until then. Just so good.)
3. Florida (There’s something here. Maybe next year teams will have an active and virulent hate week against them. They will likely have the slide catch up to them in a weeks time.)
4. South Carolina (Every other team is putting up in big block letters “MAKE MARCUS LATTIMORE FUMBLE.” Because Spurrier is so frustrated with Garcia right now, he’ll dumbly take it out on the most talented offensive player in the SEC. Maybe you let the walk-on play.)
5. Georgia (That loss to South Carolina is the only reason South Carolina didn’t fall. Because right now, the defense is performing feats of strength that can help when Aaron Murray’s not feeling his oats, and depending how long Brantley is out? This is the SEC East favorite.)
6. Tennessee (Hey, Vols Nation. What was the final score of the game against Buffalo? I mean really. Guess what I did. I picked the score of your game dead solid perfect. Boom.)
7. Arkansas (And speaking of victory laps…
So by this logic, I’m saying that Texas A&M is the better team, right? I have to admit I am. And that’s their problem. Because they’re going to be in a place where they’re going to get an early lead, and then Mike Sherman’s going to go conservative, and then Tyler Wilson is going to throw the Razorbacks all the way back from the dead. Arkansas formally welcomes Texas A&M to the SEC with a lot of throwing.
Yeah, I had to take another victory lap. But when Arkansas goes down 35-17, and has Tyler Wilson throw for over 500 yards to get them back? I was dead on. /end victory laps.)
8. Auburn (Inconsistent. Because they’re young. After allowing more points and yards to Florida Atlantic than they had all year, it’s easy to see how they can bottle up what was the Heisman favorite.)
9. Vanderbilt (I don’t know how they won’t be eaten alive by Alabama this week. If it wasn’t for Kentucky? This would be the worst offensive line in the SEC. Still love you Vandy defense!)
10. Mississippi State (A month ago I had this team beating Alabama. Not that I still believe that would happen. I just wanted to show you how far they’ve fallen off.)
11. Ole Miss (Seriously, congratulations on beating a decent WAC team after traveling two times zones. Because some of the Ole Miss weirdo fans probably would have done something stupid during the bye week.)
12. Kentucky (If it wasn’t for just how poor Arkansas has been taking care of the ball, this team would be last in the SEC in every metric. I wouldn’t be surprised if Joker Phillips doesn’t get run out. This has gone bad.)
Will put up a Tyrann Nathieu post later today, and try for three prediction picks for the week. Gotta start making myself look dumb again.
