POWER RANKINGS

1. Alabama ( 3- 0): Nick Saban’s team scored 63 points and he was frustrated, which is 2020 in a nutshell. His COVID- 19 mask was a vocabulary- saver for kids watching at home.

2. Georgia ( 3- 0): The Georgia defense is coming out of the 2014 portal like an angry Thanos. “Old school” in the scariest way.

3. Texas A& M ( 2- 1): Jimbo got a huge win over Florida, but did it merit a Gatorade bath?

4. Florida ( 2- 1): Dan Mullen was apparently peeved by Texas A& M’s 12th Man looking suspiciously like a 40,000th Man and wants more Gators in the stadium.

5. Tennessee ( 2- 1): Yes, UT got blown out against Georgia, but I still can’t get over Jeremy Pruitt wearing his mask around his head like an orange Mrs. Doubtfire.

6. Auburn ( 2- 1): I threw Auburn back one spot in the rankings because in the SEC you are allowed to throw things backward with no consequences.

7. Ole Miss ( 1- 2): The Rebels may give up 500 points this season, but they will score 450 and look good doing it.

8. Missouri ( 1- 2): When it received its murderous 2020 schedule, Mizzou would have taken 1- 2 at this point. Credit the Tigers for making no excuses.

9. South Carolina ( 1- 2): We saw some good things last Saturday, but need to see them against someone other than Vanderbilt.

10. Arkansas ( 1- 2): The worst thing for Arkansas is losing on a shaky call at Auburn. The best thing is, Hog fans care enough to be angry again.

11. Kentucky ( 1- 2): The Wildcats clearly know the answer to the Air Raid and can focus on playing spoiler somewhere.

12. Mississippi State ( 1- 2): Mike Leach threatening to “purge” players from the MSU roster sounds like he has gone full Dread Pirate Roberts.

13. LSU ( 1- 2): This ranking looks crazy, but there’s no mathematical way, based on LSU’s actual wins and losses, to argue about it.

14. Vanderbilt ( 0- 3): The Commodores should be allowed to dress more players than other SEC teams. Instead, due to COVID- 19, they have fewer.
