It should be no surprise at this point that my final ballot remains unchanged from my draft. There are plenty of workable arrangements that I'd be perfectly fine with, but there are none that have a compelling enough argument for me to bother with making changes. So the week 1 ballot follows:

LSU

didn’t do so hot against a team that went 0-12 in 2008.

Basically, everything after #2 is up for grabs.

In LSU’s defense, it was a long trip for a Pacific Time Zone night game against a Washington team that actually played very well. And UWash had their star quarterback, who they didn’t have last year.

But I wouldn’t argue with a different slot for them at this point.

I was arguing that very thing with another Blogpoller this morning

But who to put after Florida and Bama right now? Basically it ought to go, one, two, [big plummet], whoever else.

bingo.

Every other team in the SEC is a work in progress. By the end of the year, things should look better. Right now, ugh.

I've always supported the idea that rankings shouldn't necessarily be in numerical order.

This week’s SEC Power Poll should really be 1, 2, 6, etc.

Did it look painfully familiar to anyone else?

I saw a secondary getting carved up by short passes. Coulda sworn I saw Chavis on the sidelines, too…

I'm gonna have to disagree

with Florida being first. It should go more like this:

Alabama Crimson Tide
Florida Gators
Mississippi Rebels
LSU Tigers
Tennessee Volunteers
Georgia Bulldogs
Auburn Tigers
South Carolina Gamecocks
Vanderbilt Commodores
Kentucky Wildcats
Arkansas Razorbacks
Mississippi State Bulldogs

Reasoning: Alabama played and beat Virgina Tech… who did Florida play… south charleston whoever? Might as well have just played my high school team.
