[TD="bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]Alabama Crimson Tide
Record: 5-0 (2-0)
Can Alabama's defense go a fourth straight game without allowing a touchdown? Can it go a full week without some off-the-field drama? The collective Crimson Tide fan base would be grateful to have both, for once.[/TD]

[TD="bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]LSU Tigers
Record: 5-1 (2-1)
Saturday's game against Florida will decide whether LSU is a contender or merely a spoiler going forward -- and if you think LSU fans are angry about the SEC schedule now, just wait and see the gumbo fly if the Tigers lose to Florida, then beat Alabama and still miss out on a trip to Atlanta.[/TD]

[TD="bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]Florida Gators
Record: 4-1 (3-0)
Honestly, Florida could still finish anywhere from 11-1 to 6-6, although I think we will have a much better idea of what it will be after this week. Defense does give them a chance every week, though.

Record: 5-0 (1-0)
The Tigers are suddenly 5-0 and on the doorstep of being East Division contenders. One hint, Tigers. If you want to be taken seriously in the SEC, you don't stand on the stoop and politely ring the doorbell. You kick the door in if you can.[/TD]

[TD="bgcolor: #CCCCCC"]Tennessee Volunteers
Record: 2-2 (0-0)
The only thing I could think of as Pig Howard lost his grip on the ball diving for the Georgia end zone last Saturday was that karma was finally collecting what was owed for the Clint Stoerner fumble in 1998 that kept UT unbeaten in an eventual BCS Championship season. Karma never hurries.[/TD]
