Better SEC

I'm watching the end of the MTSU-Auburn game. You almost have to try to be as bad as these two teams are.

K Faried is the reason that Morehead outrebounded Florida. He looks like a freaking stud. Looked good in the tournament last year as well.

Casey Mitchell looks like a top 10 CBB shooter. He and Lighty are both a pleasure to watch.

If West Virginia beats Tubby's crew it will make Vanderbilt's record look even better.

St. Mary's should be in the top 25.

ODU is actually a good team. Barely lost to Georgetown and just beat Clemson.

Iverson has the worst acne in CBB since a certain PG from Memphis.

Minnesota looks good. The Big 10 looks clearly like the best conference.

Let's just be honest: The SEC is not good this year. They might actually be worst than last year.

ZJC I do not see that at this point.

Auburn is worse.

There is no clear evidence that any other SEC team is worse.

Kentucky may be worse, just really good instead of great.

Arkansas is better.

South Carolina is not proven to be worse yet.

Georgia is better and is winning without their best player.

Vanderbilt is better.

Tennessee? I think they could certainly be better.

Florida is better even with the scare against Morehead and the loss to Ohio State.

Ole Miss and Miss State? Miss State could end up going in as a 10 seed and getting to the Final Four with Sidney and Dee Bost.

South Carolina will improve.

Ole Miss will be fighting to make the tourney.

Kentucky will not be as good as last year.

Tennessee has shown no indication to be better next year (might be though with time).

Not buying Arky at all.

Vandy is Vandy. They'll be the same.

Miss St. won't make the FF. They'll make the tourney. That's it.

Florida is Florida. They'll be a little better, but won't make the Elite 8.

Alabama won't do any significant damage (Grant will have that program turned around in the future).

I just don't see any Final Four team in the SEC, and it wouldn't surprise me if none of them make the Sweet 16.

Might be a little early, but I believe that. I see ZERO final four teams, and 6 tourney teams (UT, Vandy, Uk, UF, UGA, Miss State).

Edit: Stupidly forgot UK.

Just to clarify, what was the point of this thread? Yet another long posts by Mike Hamilton fan that provides nothing of worth.

What I said about Arkansas is they will be better than last year. I feel the same way about LSU as well. Neither will make the tournament, but both will have more wins overall even with Arkansas probably having less in the conference.

Auburn is so bad it makes me angry they are in the conference.

Alabama had one loss that is excusable and one that is not.

Interesting to see that you agree that South Carolina will have more wins (or at least I think you do based on your better comment).

I was ripped by many of the posters in basketball here for saying that despite losing Downey, South Carolina would win more games overall.

By the way, some people would say six SEC teams in the tourney are good, and while that's a plus, nobody in the SEC looks like a FF contender.

Just because LSU and Arky are better, doesn't make them good.

Alabama is a year or two away. Grant needs time. That program was in the dumpster. He's a good coach and I think he'll do well.

I think Horn is decent, but USCe is a dumpster. They'll be better. More healthy, decent recruiting class.

When you go two sentences deep, it is helpful to not abuse the English language in either.

I am happy that we have a new emoticon (although I rarely use them) that our WR's are popularizing now. :loco:

It is funny ZJC, I think that you and I agree maybe on our outlook.

Based on early returns, I will also not be making any argument about the SEC and the Big 10.

The Big 10 looks to have lots of very strong teams.

I wonder if I am the exception here in terms of being a conference fan like Parsons who will be cheering for the Wildcats and was delighted to see Vandy win.

2 games against inferior talent isn't a good enough barometer for me to make that kind of judgment. Its a bit to early, IMO. However, the SEC isn't likely to be strong enough to provide a FF team.

There is a difference between predicting a Final 4 and talking about potential.

Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Tennessee, and yes Florida all have the potential to make the Final Four.

If Sidney pulled a Sean Kemp in the fat years on us, Miss State will not matter in March, but if he is trying to get paid millions along with Dee, I really believe that the Bulldogs could matter a lot in the tournament.

By January we should be able to say more conclusively if we think a team will make the Final Four, and then when the brackets come out we can predict for sure based on matchups. Duke last year for instance had one of the easiest paths I can remember.

They could be Auburn.

I cannot believe the losses they have already piled up...it is a disgrace for a team in our conference to suck that bad.
