Having stirred up a little controversy with my final BlogPoll ballot, I now turn to the task of casting the campaign’s ultimate SEC Power Poll ballot, secure in the knowledge that this is the last time I will do so for a twelve-team Southeastern Conference: 1. Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1): Yes,...

Since I recently said something nice about Jason Kirk, it will not surprise you to learn that, when Jason told me that this article was a "must-read," I read it. Hey, I was told I must. Of particular interest was the part about SEC coaches’ superstitions. As you know, I am pretty danged...
