A Ridiculously Early Top 25 for '08

Ok it is Early Jan '08. Here is how the SEC stands in this Very Early Top #25 Poll:

#2 Georgia - Talented 'Dawgs need QB Matt Stafford to take the next critical step in his development: the ability to carry a team in big games. TB Knowshon Moreno is a Heisman Trophy candidate.

#6 LSU - Tigers have some serious rebuilding on both sides of the ball, but the key pieces are there for another 10-win season. Watch how well QB Ryan Perrilloux plays as the full-time starter.

#10 Florida - Gators have plenty on offense with returning Heisman winner QB Tim Tebow and electric WR Percy Harvin. The defense has problems -- anyone see a legit tackle or rush end? -- to address before Florida moves up into the top five.

#15 Auburn - How quickly do the Tigers pick up the new wide-open offense -- and how easily does coach Tommy Tuberville veer from his grind-it-out philosophy?

#22 Alabama - Tide has talent; has everyone bought what coach Nick Saban is selling?
