SEC Power Rankings

Posted by Brett Kincaid on October 19, 2009

ESPN.com’s Chris Low has his weekly power rankings up.  Like many others in the country, Low has moved Alabama ahead of Florida for the top spot. 

2. Florida: Tim Tebow and a couple of generous penalties saved the Gators (6-0, 4-0) in their 23-20 escape at home against Arkansas. There are some warning signs on offense, and Tebow was sacked six times. But given the chance to win the game in the fourth quarter, Tebow got it done … again.

Meanwhile the Hogs have a chance to move into the upper half this week.

6. Arkansas: The Hogs (3-3, 1-3) don’t have a glistening record, but two of their losses were to the top two-ranked teams in the country, most recently Florida. Arkansas’ defense has made tremendous improvement, which makes this a dangerous club the rest of the way. The Hogs probably deserved better at the Swamp and were the victim of a couple of bad calls.
