The Gators remain on top this week in the Hustler SEC power rankings, as Vandy falls to the bottom after the devastating loss against Mississippi State. Agree? Disagree? Hit us up in the comments. Check out last week's power rankings here.
1. Florida (3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference)
It didn’t seem possible a team could be less satisfied with a double-digit win over an archrival. The Gators’ 23-13 win over Tennessee was more than a little anticlimactic after the huge build-up for it.
2. Alabama (3-0, 0-0)
Roll Tide Roll. They blasted North Texas to increase their regular-season winning streak to 15 games.
3. LSU (3-0, 1-0)
The Ragin’ Cajuns might have the best nickname in all sports, but they’re still 0-22 against the plain-named Tigers of Baton Rouge thanks to two picks by Chad Jones.
4. Ole Miss (2-0, 0-0)
The Rebels have had two cookie-cutter opponents so far. Things change the next two weeks with two road games against conference opponents who beat them in 2008.
5. Georgia (2-1, 2-0)
Matt who? Joe Cox struggled in the opener but he and A.J. Green looked like an unstoppable duo in another big road win for Mark Richt, this one over Arkansas.
6. Auburn (3-0, 1-0)
The Tigers are doing a good job of putting last year’s misery behind them with a rolling offense that’s averaged over 42 points per game.
7. Arkansas (1-1, 0-1)
A porous secondary did the Razorbacks in against Georgia in a disappointing home loss that wasted an outstanding performance by Ryan Mallett.
8. Tennessee (1-2, 0-1)
The Vols kept things close against Florida, and the defense looks like a force to be reckoned with. But Jonathan Crompton is too much of a liability at quarterback for this team to really scare anyone.
9. South Carolina (2-1, 0-1)
Six starters or backups of the Gamecock defense are hurting, and they will face a hefty challenge when Ole Miss visits.
10. Kentucky (2-0, 0-0)
Still not sold on the Wildcats. A winning record once SEC plays roll around seems very unlikely.
11. Mississippi State (2-1, 1-1)
A defense that was carved up by Auburn totally dominated Vanderbilt to get Dan Mullen his first conference win as a head coach. Also, Anthony Dixon is one of the best tailbacks in the SEC.
12. Vanderbilt (1-2, 0-2)
Where else to put the Commodores? Blame it on bad play-calling, a struggling receiver corps or what have you, but the offense on this team is nonexistent.
