<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><font face="Calibri">Good evening Six Packers!!!</font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><font face="Calibri">My name isn't the Stallion for nothing. I take a punch and keep on coming…"get up Rock" - a voice inside my head said….don't let Ike get the best of you. Your fans need you. Eye of the Tiger baby!!! So here I am. I have seen highlights and read articles and am ready to give you my unbias rankings for Week 3. I will have to tell you that missing a full weekend of football about killed the Stallion. I even asked my wife if I could go to a sports bar that may have power to catch the State-Auburn game (probably a bad move), but by the sounds of how it went, I don't think I could have kept up with that offensive explosion. Are you kidding me? The Stallion has scored more goals in a soccer game than points scored in that game. I even heard the Scott Field scoreboard yawned. </font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><font face="Calibri">Nevertheless, the SEC is proving its worth again with 5 top 10 teams in the polls. Very impressive to say the least. What is unfortunate is that once they all play each other there may only be 2 or 3 left in the top 10. And the Ohio State University Buckeyes proved that they can't beat a good team outside of the Big Ten. Thank God we won't be seeing another SEC team kick their butts in the BCS championship game. It looks like USC should ride the wave into the teeth of hopefully an SEC power.</font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><font face="Calibri">And now for the Week 3 rankings
