Poll Patrol


Kentucky didn't let the off week slow them down as they thumped Mississippi.  The first half wasn't stellar, but the Cats got Anthony Davis back in the second half and never looked back.  This week Kentucky is 1st in the AP and the Coaches Poll.  Florida is 12th and 11th while Vanderbilt is 32nd and 34th, respectively.  Last weeks numbers are in parentheses.

Team                    RPI             Pomeroy           Projected Record
                                                                           (Total and SEC)
Kentucky              4 (3)                1 (2)                 29-2         15-1
Florida                  18 (26)            14 (18)             24-7         12-4
Vanderbilt             24 (29)            24 (30)             21-10        10-6
Alabama               36 (32)            28 (28)             19-11         8-8
Miss St                 44 (44)            81 (71)             21-10         8-8
LSU                       65 (75)           71 (79)             18-12        8-8
Tennessee            111 (110)        73 (80)           15-15        8-8
Mississippi            59 (50)           115 (110)         17-13         7-9
Arkansas               87 (69)           112 (93)            19-12        7-9
Auburn                  125 (132)        161 (171)         16-14        6-10
Georgia                 116 (98)          125 (119)         13-17         4-12
South Carolina      182 (176)        157 (150)         11-19         3-13

The big mover this week is LSU who knocked off Mississippi St. in OT and then won on the road against South Carolina.  Their schedule finishes with Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Auburn.  To even get in the discussion they would have to win all four, but the good news is they are all winnable games.

Locks: Kentucky, Florida, Vanderbilt, Mississippi St., Alabama
