Well, I went 6-3 for week two. I should have gone with my initial feelings about UGA and USC. I'll organize this by my rankings.
East
UF - Easy win for them over Troy. I don't understand why Meyer isn't working in a backup for Tebow more during these patsy games. Tebow's the man, but no one is immune to injuries.
USC - "South Carolina is going to surprise some people this year." That was my preseason assessment of SC. Never underestimate Spurrier. Richt has always been inconsistent.
UT - I was too busy watching the Auburn train wreck to even notice this game. It looks like UT started out fairly slow. Ainge put up some good numbers.
UGA - After looking like the most prepared team in the SEC, they looked flat against USC. They have Western Carolina this week, who got blasted by a team that lost to UK 40 points. Maybe they'll use this time to work out the kinks.
UK - Another creampuff week. They went into halftime tied. Was it halftime adjustments or a lack of substitutes for Kent State that turned this into a blowout. Who cares? It's Kentucky.
Vandy - A questionable call resulted in momentum for Bama early in this game. Vandy would have lost anyway. Nickson looked pretty bad. Adams fared a little better. The defense was able to pressure JPW a good bit.
West
LSU - I knew Tech was nothing but an overrated media doll. Just because the school went through a major tragedy doesn't mean that the football team will be any good. LSU's offense is coming together. Their defense isn't just the best in the SEC, but the best in the nation.
Arkansas - McFadden and Jones had a combined 400 yards against the bye. They should have a field day against Bama's weak front this week.
Alabama - Their defense gives up some big plays, but they're usually called back. JPW doesn't perform well under pressure, but has a good supporting cast. Their first real challenge will be this weekend.
Ole Miss - No one will ever call me a homer after this...well, maybe. Ole Miss has no defense, but they have shown some brilliance on offense. It doesn't take much of a defense to stop the next team on the list.
Auburn - The team did come out and played with some intensity this game...just on one side of the ball. The defense is spot-on (aside from the blown coverage in overtime). On offense, Auburn is 5-28 on third down conversions, has allowed 6 sacks, and has turned the ball over 7 times in two games against mid-tier teams!
Mississippi State - Henig would have some great numbers if MSU played in Conference USA. Unfortunately for him, the SEC is known for their defense.
