1. LSU (4-0, 2-0) Aside from dominating opponents on the field, LSU is working to help others off it. The team will sport special uniforms to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims when it plays at Tulane on Saturday.

2. Florida (4-0, 2-0) If this team wants its quarterback fresh down the stretch, it will need to find a running attack outside of Tim Tebow. The sophomore sensation carried the ball 27 times against Ole Miss.

3. Kentucky (4-0, 1-0) This squad was named Tostito's Fiesta Bowl Team of the Week by the Football Writers Association of America, and yet the athletic site still had Midnight Madness featured at the top of its front page Tuesday.

4. South Carolina (3-1, 1-1) The Gamecocks stay put at four - for now - but star linebacker Jasper Brinkley is out for the year, and Steve Spurrier has begun his notorious quarterback carousel after watching Blake Mitchell struggle against South Carolina State the week before and LSU this past Saturday.

5. Georgia (3-1, 1-1) Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo told Coach Mark Richt he wanted to go for the win on the first play of overtime, and Richt listened. And in one throw, it appears Matthew Stafford grew up quite a bit on Saturday night.

6. Alabama (3-1, 2-1) For the fans who showered the Georgia pile-on celebration with beverages, remember that this team was supposed to be a work in progress for Coach Nick Saban.

7. Tennessee (2-2, 0-1) After this week's bye, some of Vol nation is declaring the Georgia game a measuring stick for whether Philip Fulmer should keep his job. Fulmer, however, can't play linebacker for the Vols, who gave up 178 yards rushing to Arkansas State.

8. Arkansas (1-2, 0-2) Quarterback Casey Dick must find himself against North Texas and UT-Chattanooga the next two weeks because it's been proven Darren McFadden and Felix Jones can only do so much, and at some point the forward pass will be necessary.

9. Vanderbilt (2-1, 1-1) Chris Nickson got to rest his hamstring during the bye week, as did Earl Bennett with his ankle, although Nickson may have been reluctant to do so. "Coach Kiser made a good comment [Monday] morning saying ‘Chris thinks work fixes everything,'" said Coach Bobby Johnson.

10. Mississippi State (3-1, 1-1) The Bulldogs got the win over Gardner-Webb and moved to 3-1 for the first time since 2000, but did little to determine who would best replace the injured Michael Henig at quarterback, as they kept the play-calling conservative.

11. Auburn (2-2, 0-1) Auburn may end up looking more like Auburn as the season goes on, just don't count on it this weekend. The Tigers visit the Swamp Saturday.

12. Ole Miss (1-3, 0-2) Considering BenJarvus Green-Ellis only had 37 yards rushing, it's even more impressive that the Rebels were able to hang with Florida on Saturday.
