This list is put together by the SEC community leaders here at Bleacher Report.



1. Points: 69; Stock: UP

The Gators had an off-week after their beat down of Miami last week. Florida looks strong and their defense has been good so far which was a question. Next up is a trip to Tennessee this Saturday.



2. Points: 68; Stock: DOWN

The Bulldogs went on the road and beat South Carolina in what is always a tough game. Georgia struggled to get their offense going, but their defense looked great. Now Georgia faces an even tougher test in traveling to Arizona State to take on the Sun Devils.



3. Points: 60; Stock: SAME

LSU beat another cupcake in North Texas and looked dominant doing it. Now starts the real season with a trip to Auburn this week in a crucial SEC West showdown.



4. Points: 53; Stock: SAME

Auburn won one of the ugliest games in recent memory on the road at Mississippi State on Saturday. A win is a win, but the Tigers better get their offense going with LSU coming to town this Saturday.



5. Points: 50; Stock: SAME

The Crimson Tide smashed Western Kentucky on Saturday, the defense continues to play well and the rushing attack is the strength of Alabama's team. Next up for the Tide is a trip to Arkansas this Saturday.



6. Points: 35; Stock: SAME

The Vols rebounded from their loss at UCLA to dominate UAB. The rushing attack looks strong, but Jonathan Crompton continues to throw interceptions. Next up is a revenge game at home against Florida who stomped them last season in Gainesville.



7. Points: 32; Stock: UP

The Commodores continue to play good football with a win over Rice this weekend. The 'Dores are now only three wins away from making a bowl game and have a big game at Ole Miss this Saturday that could go a long way in making that happen if they win.



8. Points: 31; Stock: DOWN

The Rebels only move one spot down because of Vanderbilt moving up a spot. Ole Miss looked a little sluggish against Samford but got the job done. Now is a big home contest against the Commodores in a game they have to win.



9. Points: 28; Stock: SAME

The Gamecocks looked better this week against Georgia, but still had no offense to help out their solid defense. Carolina is now 0-2 in the league and has to get it together very quickly. Next up is a cupcake in Wofford this Saturday.



10. Points: 18; Stock: SAME

Kentucky had to make a tackle at the 1-yard line on a Hail Mary to beat Middle Tennessee State on Saturday. Not the kind of performance you would want, but they pulled it out. Kentucky is 3-0 and now has an off-week before playing cupcake Western Kentucky.



11. Points: 17; Stock: SAME

The Bulldogs could not have asked for more from their defense against Auburn on Saturday, but their offense was nowhere to be found and only managed 116 yards of offense. State has to find a passing game if they want to make it back to a bowl game. Next up is a tough road trip to play Georgia Tech.



12. Points: 7; Stock: SAME

Arkansas was supposed to play Texas this weekend, but the game was postponed due to Hurricane Ike. Good thing for the Hogs, they got a week off instead and now get ready for their first conference game of the season with a home game against Alabama.
