I did this earlier in the year so I thought I would do another one. Enjoy......

1. LSU ,21-4 ,9-1 No question here, John Brady left Johnson with some good talent and he has done a great job this year.
2. Kentucky- 18-7, 7-3, Alot of teams could go right here but I am going with KY, but not by much over the next couple of teams
3. Tennessee 16-8, 7-3, After a 2-0 week, maybe starting to turn the corner, we will find out this week with games at Ole Miss and at KY, 2-0 this week would be huge.
4. SC 18-5, 7-3, Good record but have not played alot of stiff competion before the SEC part of the schedule. Horn has done a great job at SEC. His style of play reminds me alot of Pearl's when he 1st came into the league.
5. M-State 16-9, 6-4. Toss up between State and FL, both have been struggling lately.
6. FL- 19-6, 6-4. I thought they were pretty a pretty good team but anybody that loses to Georgia is not very good, even if it was fluke it is still an embarrasment for the Gators.
7. Auburn- 16-9, 5-5 Playing alot better as of late.
8. Ole Miss 13-11, 4-6. Tons of injuries, still a pretty decent team.
9. Vandy- Not very good.
10. Alabama- Even worse than Vandy. They will not get a big time head coach.
11. Arkansas- What in the world happened here, the last time I did this they were number 1 and had just beaten OK. Wheels fell off a while ago.
12. Georgia- They are terrible, they are embarrasing to the league.

FL and Auburn are both underrated. And I don't think KY is the second best team in the SEC....

I agree that Auburn is underrated. They certainly have an experienced starting 5 that has paid some dividends for them. However, Florida is certainly not underrated especially after their loss to Georgia. I would vote LSU #1 and it is unclear if KY, TN, or SC is second. We will know much more after this week. Other than that, I think this list is pretty accurate.

Can't argue with this a whole lot. I think UT is only on a high right now because they just played two of the worst teams in conference at home. We'll know more about them after this week.

I'd be willing to excuse the florida loss, but otherwise that list looks about right

i agree with this completely the only possible change i see would be uf over miss st. obvious lsu 1 and then u haveto putuk ahead of ut bc of their wn at ut and comparable records. and the same goes for ut over sc i agree with tha and ut did beat usc. the rest looks pretty good imo.

I said the same thing but there is no other team in the league that stand out. There is about 5 teams that all could go into the number 2 spot

I think the biggest problem for FL is that they are a one man team. Without Calathes they are in the bottom third of the SEC.

That is very true, the way they played on Saturday they are in the bottom third no matter what. You think he will be a good pro player??

Safe to say you could say this about meeks, downey, and thornton too.

I think because calathes is such an amazing player they tailor the offense around him, which is sensible, but makes figuring out the worth of his absence a bit of a difficult task.

I think you are exactly right. They certainly put a lot on the shoulders of Calathes, but they have a number of other very highly rated players on the roster.

Without Calathes, they have no one to even run the offense, much less run it through anyone, that's why he's so important. The loss of Lucas killed them.

FL and Auburn are not underrated. The SEC pretty much goes like this

One good team - LSU

Three decent teams that will be in the tourney - Tennessee, Kentucky and SC

Seven teams that are terrible - Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, Mississippi St. and Vanderbilt

and finally, one team so hideously awful that it deserves the Old Yeller treatment - Georgia.

Calathes is a great player, but Florida isn't that good for the 33 minutes a game he is playing.

hah, never mind...I just got my answer. ESPN 8pm. Thanks anyway! let's go Vandy! That would sure make it a slight bit easier road for the Vols.

Alright Kentucky is not very good, although they will play like world champions on Saturday. Like somebody said earlier there is one really good team LSU A couple of teams that are decent and alot of teams that are piss poor.

I dont know what is up with billy gillespie but he seems like the last 2 years he has done the same thing. The teams are crappy and lose to teams that they shouldnt at the begginning of they year then come roaring back, then start to fade. About a month ago, UK looked pretty good, but looking at their last 5 or 6 games they have looked like the UK practice squad. Oh well im not complaining just wondering, lol.

Your #9 just beat #2. That would be 4 losses in the past 6 games for Kentucky. You've got them ranked too high. Some bracket enthusiasts have UK left out of the tourney. Vanderbilt (16-9, 4-5) has now won 4 out of their last 5 games and is playing much better than when they lost 4 straight in January.

1. LSU
2. Tennessee
3. Florida
4. S.Carolina
5. Kentucky
6. Miss St
7. Vandy
8. Auburn
9. Arkansas
10. Ole Miss
11. Alabama
12. Georgia
