re: Who will be the SEC's tournament teams next year?

I think Arky could be as high as a 3 if Qualls and Portis stay..... if either or both leave then we will be probably a bubble team at best. We have some good youngsters in the program but not enough proven scoring to make up for losing those two. Hopefully they stay and I think we make a deeper run (sweet 16 or better).

Kentucky will reload and be a contender again. LSU will be good but they are asking for greatness from true freshmen with a coach that doesn't exactly have a stellar rep for developing talent so I wouldn't pick them higher than a 5 right now, but that could change if the newbies are as good as advertised.
Florida and Georgia head up that second tier along with Ole Miss. Vandy is on the fringe of this group as is Tenner and Auburn.
Bama is a wait and see for me right now as is A&M. Aggies are talented but they wilted easily down the stretch and need to prove that they deserve to be mentioned among the elite before I put them there. Not real sold on their HC and his ability to lead.
SC- improved but not ready to make the jump.
