Poll Patrol


Kentucky played a solid game at home against Tennessee this week and then went on the road and lost another close game at Vanderbilt.  The schedule gets much easier this week with 2 HOME games against Miss. St. and South Carolina.  This week Kentucky is 22nd in the AP and 22nd in the Coaches Poll.  Florida is 14th and 15th while Vandy is 18th in both polls.  Last weeks numbers are in parentheses.

Tennessee           25 (21)             46 (45)               19-12         9-7
Vanderbilt             15 (19)              29 (30)               21-9         9-7
Georgia                 41 (36)             58 (59)               20-10         9-7

Alabama                87 (97)           35 (37)               20-10       12-4
Mississippi             61 (57)             74 (69)               20-11         8-8
Arkansas               110 (101)          104 (99)             18-12        7-9
Miss St                  143 (145)          157 (165)           15-15        7-9
LSU                       218 (213)          225 (226)           11-20       3-13
Auburn                  271 (282)          236 (241)            10-20        3-13

There was no real big mover this week as the numbers are starting to settle out.  The team that was hurt the most had to be Alabama with the horrendous officiating against Vanderbilt.  Still it was a game on the road that they were expected to lose.  Alabama is still on pace for 12 conference wins which you would think would be a lock, but with an RPI at 87 and the West as week as it is they might need to win a game in the SEC tournament. 
Locks: Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia
Bubble: Alabama
