Speaks to the toughness of the SEC this season that there was a 4-way tie for 3rd place essentially. We were the only one of those teams that didn’t knock off a ranked opponent in SEC play though.
Everyone thought this would be a really down season for the SEC in pre-season. I think A&M was projected to win the conference. SC is way better than most anticipated, Kentucky is much better this season, MSST has played tough as usual, A&M is good and would have a better record if Carter had not missed some games, Arkansas is one of the best scoring teams in the country, we are one of the better defensive teams (yes, honestly, by the numbers we are), Alabama has had their best team in years, LSU is also a team you don’t want to play.
It was a very physical SEC season with poor officiating. Little changed on that front.
