Alabama Crimson Tide
Record: 8-0 (5-0)
Does "60 Minutes" have a jinx like Sports Illustrated once had? The legions of Alabama-weary football fans hope so. They are hoping for anything, especially for LSU to finally knock Alabama out of a national title. . <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

Missouri Tigers
Record: 7-1 (3-1)
With the way it rebounded against Tennessee, Mizzou looks like it really might have let a magical season slip through its fingers by blowing the South Carolina game the week before. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

LSU Tigers
Record: 7-2 (4-2)
Is LSU slowly slipping back into permanent second-banana status in the SEC West? Are the Tigers on the verge of being a permanent Tony Bennett to Alabama's Sinatra, a Don Drysdale to the Tide's Sandy Koufax? The Tigers need to do something in the series before that image is reset in stone. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

Georgia Bulldogs
Record: 5-3 (3-3)
Even though Todd Gurley was huffing and puffing like a two-pack-a-day grandma on a Rec Center treadmill, his presence made a big difference for the Bulldogs who may yet, amazingly, back into Atlanta yet again. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

South Carolina Gamecocks
Record: 6-2 (4-2)
Did you know that, according to the BCS standings, the Gamecocks have the SEC's best non-conference win (at Central Florida?) Hopefully, they give out a trophy for they because despite being pretty good, the Gamecocks -- again -- don't seem likely to win any hardware. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

Auburn Tigers
Record: 8-1 (4-1)
How could Auburn win and still drop in the poll? Well, apparently the entire team has been diagnosed with a Fast Aching Knee Epidemic -- or the FAKE, for short. Anyone he catches could collapse to the turf at any time. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

Texas A&M Aggies
Record: 5-1 (2-1)
The Aggies didn't have anyone mysteriously collapse against UTEP last week, not even its defense (which was a first for this season). Still, they are looking more and more like a one-trick pony, even if Manziel is a great trick. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

Ole Miss Rebels
Record: 5-3 (2-3)
The Rebels are starting to get healthier just as their schedule is starting to get easier -- a good combination. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

Florida Gators
Record: 4-4 (3-3)
The Gators face a must-win game with Vanderbilt on Saturday, which says more than I ever could.

Vanderbilt Commodores
Record:5-3 (2-3)
Vanderbilt has never beaten Georgia and Florida in the same season. Wake up early on the off-chance that you might see history made. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

Tennessee Volunteers
Record: 4-5 (1-4)
There can be no argument that the Vols have played the nation's toughest schedule, catching a healthy Florida and Georgia to go along with BCS contenders Alabama and Oregon (plus Missouri and South Carolina). Now Auburn comes to Neyland with a Top 10 ranking. Might be time for another upset, but in its last two games, the Orange looked like a team that has been worn to a pit. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

Mississippi State Bulldogs
Record: 4-4 (1-3)
Last year, the Bulldogs rolled into November with a glossy undefeated record. This year, they roll into November at 4-4" which at least takes "embarrassing collapse" out of the equation. Not that that is progress. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

Arkansas Razorbacks
Record: 3-6 (0-5)
Hopefully, the Razorbacks will stop the painful process of playing actual football games and just let Bret Bielema stand on the sidelines and mutter about the opposing coach, which would be a lot more entertaining. <big style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big><big><big style="font-weight: bold;">

Kentucky Wildcats
Record: 2-6 (0-4)
Could the Wildcats actually play the spoiler role in the East this week? Well, crazier things have come out of Kentucky. Miley Cyrus. But that is about it.
