Titz was right....

[GH2001]

in his preseason prognostications - in picking Arkansas and Auburn to be the cream of the crop in the SEC. At the end of the regular season, it appears they are 1 and 2 in the power rankings. Kudos Titz. I will admit I didnt see either happening the way they did.

With only the SEC championship game remaining before the bowl games, here’s a look at this week’s SEC Power Rankings:

1. Auburn: The Tigers (12-0, 8-0) completed a perfect regular season with their greatest comeback in school history, rallying from a 24-0 deficit to win 28-27 at Alabama on Friday. Gene Chizik’s club also went to No. 1 in this week’s BCS standings and deservedly so. They’re the only team in the country with five wins over teams currently ranked in the Top 25 of the BCS standings.

2. Arkansas: What a finish to the season for Bobby Petrino and the Hogs. They took care of LSU 31-23 on Saturday in Little Rock to win their sixth straight game. Arkansas (10-2, 6-2) will now turn into big Auburn fans. If the Tigers can win Saturday in the SEC championship game, the Hogs will play in their first BCS bowl game in school history. They’ve averaged 42.5 points during their six-game winning streak.

and all indication Arkansas will play the Buckeyes. That would make for a great match up. Interesting also that Mallet started out as a Wolverine. I am sure he would love to get a win against Ohio St.

[AUChizad]

Congrats, Alabama. 5th best in the SEC. You remain in the top half of the overall SEC. You have Mississippi and pretty much the entire East to thank for that.

Thanks to only one East team being worth a damn, you'll stumble into the Capital One bowl.

My early gut feeling on that one says that Mallet will torch those SEC Wannabees.

Yes sir, and I hope OSU wears those butt ugly retro unis too. One thing though, I was under the impression that the winner of the ACC usually plays in the Sugar Bowl.

My game would be watching Wisconsin hang 70 on TCU...what a fucking joke that game would be.

[Tiger Six]

Listen to him, he's pre-law...

Stanford will probably get the shot at the Horny Toads.

Will they?

Auburn - BCSCG (Hopefully)
Arkansas - Sugar
LSU - Capital One or Cotton
South Carolina - Capital One or Cotton
Alabama - Cotton, Outback, or Chik Fil A

I want nothing of the Badgers right now, like others have mentioned. This Wisconsin team eat nails for breakfast.

Doubtful, Rose Bowl has to take them.  What I am hoping for is that WVU is somehow able to win the Big Least causing the Orange Bowl to take them vs Virgina Tech.  That would leave the Fiesta with Oklahoma/ Nebraska vs. Stanford.  Which makes my Fiesta Bowl tickets go up in price.

You're a thinker

Daddy wants to help cover his ticket packages....I'm all about the Benjamin's.

Is it bad I know who might be playing in the Insight.com Bowl

If Auburn beats South Carolina....

1. Auburn 13-0 (9-0)
2. Arkansas 10-2 (6-2)
3. LSU 10-2 (6-2)
4. Alabama 9-3 (5-3)
5. South Carolina 9-4 (5-4)
6. Mississippi State 8-4 (4-4)
7. Florida 7-5 (4-4)
8. Georgia 6-6 (3-5)
9. Tennessee 6-6 (3-5)
10. Kentucky 6-6 (2-6)

I see Bama going to the cotton if Auburn wins.  Outback if South Carolina wins.

Is your wife out of the hospital?  Prayers sent.

Nah.  It was a hell of a game.  I can live with those losses.

This is just my opinion- As I have only seen yawl play twice. You a have a load of talent on the sidelines.

You just don’t seem to have much of a team. I really can’t put my finger on it.

This past Saturday you had the better players.
We had the better team.

[Godfather]

I don't know if I agree with that statement.

Token your thoughts, but my assessment pre and post game would be about as follows:

QB: Advantage- Auburn  (nothing else to say here)
RB: Advantage - Bama (If you are talking RB vs RB, If you throw Cam in here I think the Advantage is ours)
WR: Advantage - Slight edge Bama (but I think this is close, Julio puts you over the edge)
OL: Advantage - Auburn (Senior, Senior, Senior, and Senior)

On the defensive side:
DL: Advantage - Auburn (at the beginning of the year I would have said bama)
LB: Advantage - Push
CB: Advantage - Bama

I really don't think bama has any better players/athletes than we do. Sure some are better than others, but he we have some better than theirs.

Yes, this is correct.

Outback or Cotton.

Either way, what I meant was being 4th in the West would usually get you Chick-Fil-A or worse.

They are super talented but young and inexperienced. They lost a lot of guys from last year's team and some of the guys playing now on their D are green. They will be good next year again on D. Games like the Iron Bowl help down the road for young players.
