Power ranking the SEC after week 6: #1 - Georgia

The Bulldogs reclaim their spot at the top of the rankings. It was a very close race last week, of course, given just how tight that game between them and the Tide was, even after four turnovers by UGA.

Smart’s squad dealt much better with their letdown game than the Tide did with theirs, of course. Auburn did enough to make things scary in the first half, pulling within a score at one point, but the Bulldogs eventually imposed their will on the game.

Now, UGA has an off week to get themselves together before a trip down to the SEC’s most middling venue in Austin. This is probably not a true must-win for the Bulldogs, but it’s approaching that territory given that they already have a loss on their ledger.

The physicality up front is improving for the Bulldogs. I’m loving what I’m seeing out of Nate Frazier, the young tailback. The defense has some issues on the back end that could prove problematic on October 19, it should be said, but UGA still looks like they’re the most complete team in the conference at the moment.
