SEC Power Rankings After Week 1



EAST
1. Georgia - After Week 1, it's Georgia then everybody else. Gurley is incredible to watch. I hope he stays healthy.

2. South Carolina - Got 50 hung on 'em and still 2nd? The East is that weak.

3. Tennessee - Utah State was dominated, and I was impressed. Butch Jones may have this team bowl eligible in his 2nd season.

4. Florida - Rained out. Will Muschamp is hoping that's not a metaphor for his career.

5. Missouri - Meh.

6. Kentucky - Great win over Tennessee-Martin, but... Tennessee-Martin.

7. Vanderbilt - Temple? Really? Not a good start for new coach Derek Mason. 

WEST
1. Texas A&M - Win like that on the road in the SEC and I believe in  you until proven otherwise. Kevin Sumlin almost has me convinced he's a coaching wizard.

2. Auburn - Mark it down. Winner of A&M - Auburn wins the West. I can't wait to watch that game.

3. Alabama - If West Virginia could do that to Bama's D, there's hope for Ole Miss. Alabama's defense looked soft.

4. Ole Miss - I need to see improvement from the offense, the line especially, before the Rebs move up.

5. LSU - The Tigers didn't look too hot in the latest Les Miles rabbit out of his hat victory. This could be a very disappointing year down in Baton Rouge.

6. Arkansas - For one half against Auburn, the Hogs looked much better. The offensive line created big holes. The running backs were physical and fast. I was impressed. This team might win a couple SEC games.

7. Mississippi State - The SEC West is so strong I don't know what to do with the Bulldogs. Yes, they might be better than 7th, but for right now I was slightly more impressed by Arkansas. Blame it on how terrible Southern Miss looked.
