Moreno's bruised elbow tops Georgia's growing list of injuries
ATHENS, Ga. -- The off week came at an opportune time for Georgia.
The 11th-ranked Bulldogs are dealing with a rash of injuries, most notably to star running back Knowshon Moreno. He sustained a severely bruised elbow in Saturday night's 41-30 loss to Alabama.
Even with an extra week to recover, there's still a chance Moreno might miss Georgia's next game against Tennessee on Oct. 11, according to coach Mark Richt.

ESPN - Crompton, backup Stephens will each take reps with first-team offense - College Football

Crompton, backup Stephens will each take reps with first-team offense
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Jonathan Crompton and Nick Stephens will compete for Tennessee's starting quarterback job this week during practice, coach Phillip Fulmer said Sunday.
"I'd much rather the guy we anticipated being the starter play well and execute like we want. That's not happening on a consistent basis right now," he said.
Fulmer called Crompton's 8-for-23 passing performance for 67 yards in the Vols' 14-12 loss at Auburn unacceptable. Crompton completed a pass to Gerald Jones on a 2-point conversion attempt that would have tied the game, but Jones was stopped short of the end zone.
The pair will alternate taking snaps with the first team offense during practice. Whichever quarterback shows the most consistency passing during practice this week will earn the starting job when Tennessee (1-3, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) faces Northern Illinois on Saturday.

2008-Year of SEC Exposure
After this weekend, do you think it's fair to say the power dynamic has shifted in college fb? And by that, I mean to the Big 12 and a lesser extent,B10?
To wit:
Georgia gets owned-
That game was less competitive at the half than OUR game vs SC. Bama's o-line was a powerful force, and GA looked pedestrian on both sides of the ball.
FL vs Ole Miss-
Kept waiting for it, but not one commentator would declare the obvious. Tebow has been figured out and FL's offense is def. weaker than prev. thought.Miss has an intriguing offense, but they are generally not world beaters
Auburn vs Tenn
Auburn looked only slightly better than a woeful Tenn team.
Arkansas,Kentucky,S.Carolina,Miss St and Vandy are all either downright bad or simply not tested as of yet.
How do you all see the future?
Will the SEC become a shell of itself?
Is the B12 the next rising conference?

I think the Big12 surpassing the SEC has a better chance than the SEC will become a "shell of itself" and I think its simply because there's been no changes in terms of coaching staffs or player development (lone exception - Arkansas and Ole Miss who both upgraded in terms of coaching).
Stable, talented coaching staffs recruit and develop talented teams.

IMO, what they do against each other means nothing.

It all comes down to the record in bowl games.
..and even that doesn't matter in the eyes of SEC fan. Wasn't the Big 10 2-1 vs. the SEC on '06?

Exactly. Alabama pounding Georgia doesn't really "expose" the SEC. It just means the polls picked the wrong SEC team to be ranked higher. Once they start losing to non-SEC teams on a regular basis, then it can be said they've been "exposed", but until then...
