Jay G. Tate has written up a great scouting report on this weekend’s matchup between Mississippi State and Auburn. He compares the two teams on various positions like quarterback, running back, etc.

The results are in. Here is how the SEC ranked in Week 2 of the SEC Power Poll. Georgia moved back into first place, and Vandy jumped way up to sixth (I voted them 5th in my ballot). Other than that, the rankings are pretty much the same. The SEC opener for Mississippi State [...]
