,,,, and total BS at their worst. When the first BCS Rankings come out we'll see if they can do a little better or not....
Coach DD and the Vols continue to improve even though they have lost 2 games,
one to an under-ranked #18 UF (currently #10 AP),
the other to an over-ranked #5 UGly by just 7 pts.
As close as their game was against UGly, they (Vols) should still be ranked in the Top 25 imoho.
The Gators have moved into the AP Top 10, even though they were in a Bye for week #5. (#8 Stanford lost to NR Wash)
Week 1 - #25
Week 2 - #23
Week 3 - #18 (+17 against #23 Tn)
Week 4 - #11 (38 - 0 Shutout of UK)
Week 5 - #10
Stand-By for Week 6 featuring another SEC battle of Undefeated Top 10 Ranked teams, #10 UF vs #4 LSU.
---------------------
And imoho, aTm is also getting jobbed by the AP Poll at this point.
Sept 1st - @ LaTech game was rescheduled due to hurricane.
L Sept 8th - aTm 17 - 20 UF (-3)
W Sept 15th - @ SMU 3 - 48 aTm (+45)
W Sept 22nd - aTm 70 - 14 SCaSt (+56)
W Sept 29th - aTm 58 - 10 Ark (+48)
3-1, 1-1 SEC
* How the heck is aTm not ranked at least in the AP Top 25 with their only loss (-3) coming to #10 UF?
--------------------
On a Gator DL that has 5 Star Players DT S.Floyd, DE D.Easley, DE J.Bullard, and DE D.Fowler Jr,
the SEC's Defensive Lineman of the Week is,,,,,, rsSr NT/DT Omar Hunter (also a 5 star)
.
* Hunter had 8 tackles in UF's 38 - 0 SEC Shutout of UK with Easley out and Floyd going out in the 2nd half.
"But it’s not trying to do anyone else’s job; it’s about doing my job and doing it at a higher level." -- Hunter
(Driskel got the SEC Offensive PoW after his performance in the @ Tenn win the week before)
Gators starters that went out during the UK game: TE J.Reed (head) and DT S.Floyd (shoulder)
DNP Starters - DE Easley (knee), RT Green (ankle), SAK Burton (back),
CB Riggs (foot), OLB Jenkins (thumb)
All seven are expected to be back and play against LSU, but no guarantees..... (crosses fingers).
Trivia:
~ Gator RB Mike Gillislee has been added to the Maxwell Award Watch List. (leads the SEC in rushing per game ave)
~ Gator K Caleb Sturgis was named a Semi-Finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy. (7 over 50 yds with a 49 last wk)
