I'll play

I was expecting a little more than a 1 spot increase for the 49ers but that's okay. We still have a lot to prove.

You don't even regret changing your name to an unpronounceable mess? Oh, right... Never mind.

Polls are weird when most teams have only played 1 game. Things will settle out in a few weeks.

Kansas City has collected some of my favorite Bulldogs and they're looking good

The 49ers are looking good! gg Bucs.

I had you ranked too but I still had Michigan ahead a few spots.

I love this media series! Thanks Franz.

Huh, I'm way out of step with the other pollsters.

MFW people criticize Storm's rushing output

Whoa now, that's a big leap for the Bulldogs.

Welcome to the first installment of SEC West Stock Watch! In this series we will keep tabs on the rising and falling stock of various teams and players around the SEC throughout the season. Only two SEC West teams had games in Week 0, so this week's edition might include some entries that would only be a blip on the radar in a week with a full slate of games. Future editions will have more entries with more substantial observations. RISING - Israel Coleman. The 5'8" 4.0/5.0 Junior running back put up 104 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on just 10 attempts (one of which was a 50 yard run for a touchdown). It looks like the wee man will be a solid contributor in the Tigers' new thunder 'n lightning running scheme. - Storm Whittaker. The 4.0/4.0 redshirt Sophomore picked up right where he left off last season with 399 passing yards and 4 touchdowns against one of the top secondaries in the nation. He also added 19 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. It certainly appears that the loss of Ryan Childs isn't hurting the potency of the Bulldogs' passing attack. - Auburn's defense. The Tigers held the Nebraska Cornhuskers to just 3 points in their blowout win. Nebraska's offense accounted for just 183 yards. That's not many yards, but Nebraska probably could have turned that production into more points if Auburn's defense didn't rack up three takeaways. Bottom line? This defense looks scary. FALLING - Bulldogs special teams. Temple simply dominated Mississippi State on special teams this week with a total of 131 return yards and a touchdown. Things aren't looking good here for the Bulldogs. They have one of the worst rated special teams units in the SEC. They'll have to lean heavily on the offense and defense to win games this season, because the special teams won't be doing them any favors. - Auburn QB production. Naturally we're expecting a slight drop-off from the Marcus Black years, but hopes for Dominick Sherman were rather high after he put up 304 yards and 4 TDs against the first team defense in Auburn's spring game. His 220 yard, 2 TD, 1 INT game against Nebraska is probably just the result of a matchup that was dominated by the Auburn defense and running backs, but it could be something to monitor.

Welcome to the first installment of SEC East Stock Watch! In this series we will keep tabs on the rising and falling stock of various teams and players around the SEC throughout the season. Only two SEC East teams had games in Week 0, so this week's edition might include some entries that would only be a blip on the radar in a week with a full slate of games. Future editions will have more entries with more substantial observations. RISING - Florida's rushing attack. Well, this was unexpected. We certainly didn't predict a Sophomore running back to put up 125 yards and a touchdown against the top rated defense in the nation, but here we are. SEC East teams should consider themselves on notice. - Tennessee's playoff hopes. Tennessee was a force of nature last season, and it looks like they're even better this year. The Vols came out against a talented Boston College team and convincingly won on both sides of the ball. A balanced attack led by redshirt Senior QB Adrian Goldson and Junior RB Eddie Clinton will have opponents picking their poison. FALLING - Florida's secondary. The Gators' secondary were victimized in a winning effort to the tune of 335 passing yards and a touchdown. Honestly this might not be a bad thing, since the defense also only allowed 19 rushing yards. Forcing opponents to be one dimensional is usually a good thing. This week it led to a victory, but savvy offensive coordinators might be able to take advantage of this defensive unit.

Oh ye of little faith.

I'll see you guys at the top of the list of programs that produce the best 4.0 QBs.
