Hey there kids . . . Island Joe here with the ASJ's first blog since the release of the Bowl Championship Series rankings. It seems that the Earth has righted itself, and all the universe is in harmony, for the SEC is back to its old self again. With four teams (Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and LSU) all sporting positions in the BCS top 25, and teams like Kentucky, Vandy, and Ole Miss showing they can flex a bit of muscle in national spotlight, it seems that the trend in the SEC is one that us fans are all too familiar with: Twelve teams beating the shit out of each other, and the last one standing playing the Big 12 or Big 10 for the National Title.
If you need any evidence for this, just take a look at Alabama's game this past weekend with Ole Miss. The Tide came out swinging, going up 24 - 3 against the Rebels in the first half. The second half, however, was an entirely different story. The Ole Miss defense made their presence known, shutting down Alabama's offense, while Sneed and the Old Miss "O" laid out 17 unanswered points. Alabama also squeaked out a win two-weeks before against a fired-up Wildcat squad. The point being both games had strong potential to be outright upsets for the Crimson Tide.
But not everyone has been as lucky as those boys from Alabama. Auburn is sporting two black-eyes courtesy of Vandy and Arkansas, and Ole Miss' big stop against Florida in the Swamp got the Gators just ornery enough to take a bite out of the Bayou Bengals. And I wouldn't be a true Alabama fan if I didn't mention the Tide kicking the lights on during Georgia's black-out.
Yep, you might as well go ahead pick up some iron underwear SEC fans, 'cause it looks like we're back to biting each other in the ass.
Oh, and if anyone is looking for Tennessee's gameplan, I think Fulmer ate it.
'Til next time.
