Ole Miss is sinking fast, fast, fast and I don't think a single person is really surprised by this either. It's amazing that teams like Bama, Ole Miss and Miss State can have a lot of talent and do nothing with it. CAK needs to go and I wouldn't be shocked to see Grant go next year if he can't do something.

Grant has really underachieved, if Bama misses the dance his seat should be flaming.

Because NCAA tourney bids are not based on conference records or rankings. Bama had some rough losses early in the season when Steele was out.

It's all gonna depend how they finish IMO. If they go 2-3 the argument of Steele won't hold too much weight. They go 4-1 or 3-2 and they have a very legitimate argument.

It's the 3-2 finish that brings Steele into the debate. I agree at 2-3 they are probably out and at 4-1 I think they're in.

I certainly agree. Upsetting Duke and having 2 first round draft picks at VCU were a reason to set the bar high and he hasn't really produced with pretty amazing talent. I know they've had injuries throughout these years but he's had plenty of good teams to make some kind of noise and hasn't.

Really good. If we lose a game, Florida would be the best team to lose to considering they pretty much have a spot wrapped up at this point. Bama is likely to receive another one and then there is a jam for the 3rd and 4th spot. 4 teams are within 1 loss of each other and all together, 8 teams are seperated by 3 loses. Basically, only 4 teams are really out of it. It's impossible to breakdown without it being a mess because the tie breakers are for sure going to come into play.

Stay hot Trae. No disrespect to Vandy or SC, but this road game will really show us if we've got the capability. We're still not on everyone's radar. Another road loss against a winnable opponent would really, really hurt. Five straight, and I don't think we can be ignored anymore.

Not sure if anyone else is SC/UGA (or why it's the national CBS game), but they're talking about SEC bubble teams...Gottlieb just said of the 5 bubble teams TENN could have the best chance...someone likes us?! And it's Gottlieb!? He also brought up the GTOWN game and how big that could have been.

"Tennessee: Tennessee is still in the picture. That would have been silly to say a few weeks ago, but since then the Volunteers have torn off five consecutive wins, the most recent of which was Saturday's 93-85 victory at Texas A&M. None of those was really impressive --maybe a 30-point win over Kentucky counts, but maybe it doesn't, given the timing of Noel's injury (your mileage might vary here) -- but the Vols will at least be in the conversation when Florida arrives in Knoxville this week."
This is quoted from an ESPN article. Sorry if it wasn't quoted right. I don't normally quote articles.
