Like many people, SEC Network host Dari Nowkhah was impressed with LSU’s last-second win at Auburn on Saturday. And because of that, he jumped the Tigers to No. 3 in his latest poll, up two spots from No. 5 last week.

“Watching them Saturday win at Auburn, I realized completely how off my rocker I was when I truly believed that their preseason ranking was solely because of “name-brand recognition” and that this season would likely be the end of the road for Ed Orgeron,” Nowkhah wrote. I’m sorry, Coach O, I was wrong.”

About Alabama’s dismantling of Ole Miss in Oxford, Nowkhah wrote, “You dudes are sick. Like, good sick, not bad sick.”

Nowkhah joined many across the SEC in ranking the Razorbacks in the basement of the league.

“I know things are uglier in Fayetteville right now than at any point in the Bret Bielema era. That’s not to say that Chad Morris is not the right coach or that this will not become a successful program. I happen to believe he is, and it will. But what Hogs fans witnessed Saturday is the lowest point in a long, long time.”

Finally, Nowkhah is in the majority by proclaiming that he’s glad SEC play begins in earnest this week.

Here are his rankings following Week 3:

1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. LSU
4. Mississippi State
5. Auburn
6. Texas A&M
7. Kentucky
8. Missouri
9. South Carolina
10. Florida
11. Vanderbilt
12. Ole Miss
13. Tennessee
14. Arkansas
