By David Hooper

Here is my ballot for the SEC Power Poll:

  1. Florida Gators
  2. Alabama Crimson Tide
  3. Mississippi Rebels
  4. LSU Tigers
  5. Auburn Tigers
  6. Tennessee Volunteers
  7. South Carolina Gamecocks
  8. Arkansas Razorbacks
  9. Kentucky Wildcats
  10. Georgia Bulldogs
  11. Mississippi St. Bulldogs
  12. Vanderbilt Commodores

Details follow:

Only one manual override seemed necessary from the computer numbers - bumping Kentucky over Georgia.  Between the head-to-head win in Athens, the better record, and the very close ranking scores, it made sense.   Mississippi had a natural lead over LSU in the computer, which was mildly surprising but a relief.  Other than these adjustments, I'm pretty satisfied.  The numbers follow (and use a W/L weight of 30 and SOS weight of 10, based on discussion in this week's blogpoll.)
