re: Official Week 7 SEC Basketball Power Rankings

Kinda reminds me when the USA spent research dough on doping spiders

Those rankings were shite.

UGA and Arky are playing the best ball in the SEC not including UF and UK. I would rank UGA third and Ark 4th the next power rankings.

UGA is not very good from what I've seen of them. I haven't seen them play the Carolinas, MS States, etc. of the world. But I did watch their games against Tennessee, UF, Mizzou and UK. I know they beat Mizzou but I think every 7-7 team is better except aTm.

They play absolutely awful post defense. Not even competing against most teams that have even a solid big man. LSU's matador defense let them score 91, but I have no idea how more teams aren't just abusing them in the post.

I am not a voter in the poll. I received an e-mail asking if I wanted to vote, but chose not to participate.

There are 2 good teams, 4 programs whose rosters look like they were given the death penalty recently and an 8 team shite sandwich in between in this league.

You really think UGA is a good basketball team? Outside of the win at Mizzou they have done absolutely nothing of note. They certainly don't pass the eye test against teams who have a big man with a pulse.

On a neutral floor they are an underdog to LSU, Tennessee, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Vandy and Mizzou tomorrow. That is the criteria I would use if I chose to vote along with their lack of anything even resembling a quality win outside of Mizzou.

The only other way to base this ranking is off how they're playing now. UGA certainly isn't third if that's the case either. We saw UGA play one mediocre at best team this week and they were beaten down.

Uh, Georgia actually played another mediocre team at their place this week and beat THEM down.

Oh wait, that's right. You've only seen them play four times and are basing your entire argument on that. So, based on how you rate teams, Georgia only played once this week and was beaten down. Got it.

My bad. Carry on.

I don't put much stock in to wins over the MS and South Carolinas of the world. Obviously they all count the same in the SEC standings, but not sure why you would put much stock in to them in a power ranking like this. A win over Incarnate World carries more weight than a win over Mississippi State.

But .... Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas, and .... well, everybody else plays these same teams. And Georgia has a better record playing these teams than ... Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas, Missouri, and everyone else in the conference except Florida and Kentucky.

So do you only apply your arguments to Georgia or does every team in the conference get the same scrutiny? If so, you's gots to admit - Georgia is third best.

Sorry.

P.S. We've also beaten Missouri, LSU, Arkansas, Alabama, etc., so I apologize if we've also beaten Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina and other teams that hurt our strength of schedule.

P.S.S. And I can't help but notice that Tennessee has lost to Texas A&M. Twice. How is that even possible?

S. Carolina is not mediocre. They are far, far worse than that.

I think you have to put UGA and Arkansas at 3 and 4 in any power ranking right now based on how they played recently. I had my doubts last week, but both UGA and Arkansas have now won 5 of 6.
