Georgia and Tennessee are both 1-2, and Georgia already has two tough conference losses, including a last second loss at home to Arkansas Saturday. Tennessee has looked pretty rough all around. Kentucky is winning, but against subpar opponents. Their first real test will come this week at Florida. Vandy is still Vandy, though they did manage to whip up on Ole Miss Saturday, snapping a 10-game conference losing streak. Florida and South Carolina are both 3-0, but Florida continues to struggle early in every game before turning to on in the second half. That might hurt them later on down the road.
The West looks much stronger with Alabama, Arkansas, LSU and Auburn all 3-0. Mississippi State seems to be improving, especially on offense, but the schedule has not been kind. They're 1-2 (0-2) after losses to Auburn and LSU. Ole Miss is going to have a long, long season. They're now 1-2 (0-1) with losses to Jacksonville State and Vanderbilt. Their lone win came against Tulane 27-13 in Week Two.
Arkansas vs. Georgia was the most exciting game of the week. Georgia overcame a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett threw a 40-yard pass to Greg Childs for the go-ahead score with just 15 seconds left. Mallett was 21-of-33 for 380 yards and three TDs for the afternoon and was later named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week.
The scores:
#1 Alabama 62, Duke 13
#10 Florida 31, Tennessee 17
#12 Arkansas 31, Georgia 24
#13 South Carolina 38, Furman 19
#15 LSU 29, Mississippi State 7
#16 Auburn 27, Clemson 24
Vanderbilt 28, Mississippi 14
Kentucky 47, Akron 10
