Final SEC Power Rankings in 2010

  1. Auburn-- The best team in the country? Debatable. Best in the SEC? No question at all. Coming back from 24-0 against a team the caliber of Alabama shows heart and determination. Oh, and Cam Newton's all good to go.
  2. Arkansas-- The TexArkannon has this team looking at an At-Large bid in a BCS game. This is the hottest team in the country right now.
  3. South Carolina-- A 3 game winning streak has SC in the SEC Championship game. Lattimore is kicking ass and taking names along with Stephen Garcia making very good decisions.
  4. LSU-- Taken out of the BCS scenario with the loss to Arkansas but still a very hard team to deal with. 10-2 is a helluva season.
  5. Mississippi State-- Dan Mullen won his second consectutive Egg Bowl and has this team on a roll. Seeing this team playing better than Georgia and Florida is very difficult.
  6. Alabama-- Gave up 28 points in the biggest three quarters of their season has this team at an all time low since 2007.
  7. Tennessee-- A 2-6 start to the year had Vol fans panicing. A 4-0 finish has the Volunteers in a bowl game and looking forward to the off-season (for once).
  8. Florida-- Pure ugliness. The offense looks horrible and the defense is very young. This team will have  another great recruiting class and come back next year with a new offensive coordinator. Let's hope so at least.
  9. Georgia-- They beat their rivals to get into a bowl game but this team was supposed to compete for a SEC title this year. 6-6 is NOT cream of the crop caliber in the SEC. I believe Mark Richt can right the ship, but the chips are all on the table in the 2011 season.
  10. Kentucky-- Operation Win continues. A 6-6 season and a bowl game is good for Joker Phillips, but the loss to Mississippi in the beginning of the year killed them. This team looks poised to stay 6-6/7-5 in the SEC for the next few years.
  11. Mississippi-- Houston Nutt had one of his worst rosters of his career at Ole Miss and the record proved it. With a new quarterback coming in next year, Ole Miss needs to rebuild quickly to get back on track in the SEC West.
  12. Vanderbilt-- Can't defend against anyone. Can't offend anyone. Now with a new coach ready to come in, this continues to be the toughest job in the SEC.
