I told you so...

Vanderbilt 14 - 13 over Auburn? And people STILL argue that the SEC is the best and toughest conference in the country? A little bit of sanity, PLEASE! Sure, it was a great win for the Commodores program this past weekend, but....THIS.....IS....VANDERBILT. As a top 20 team, there is no way a supposed powerhouse SEC program like Auburn should ever lose to a bottom dweller like Vanderbilt.

This is no indication that top to bottom the conference is improving. This is an indication that the top teams in the country's supposed top league are falling (see - Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee) while recent doormats have emerged as favorites (Alabama, Vanderbilt). And mediatypes argue this is an indication of the conference's strength?

A last point - the Florida Gator-Slayers at Ole Miss got beat by South Carolina...ouch.

Expect an LSU victory of double digits as Urban Meyer continues to be exposed (6-4 in his last 10 conference games) as Florida's "savior" coach. Give it 2 years, and they'll be clamoring for Ron Zook's return.
