1. Auburn

2-5. Pretty even

Auburn has more depth and unique talents in their frontcourt that separate them and make both their floor and ceiling much higher. They still have stretches on offense where they play wild and out of control, but that's kind of how Pearl's entire frantic scheme operates.

Alabama and Tennessee are both very talented and very schizophrenic. Tennessee is probably a little bit deeper than Alabama.

Kentucky is just kind of unproven at this point. They've played 2 good teams so far (Duke and LSU) and lost both in close, physical games. They're clearly very talented and deep, but we just haven't seen them against enough against good teams yet I don't think to know how good.

LSU is the best defensive team in the country and the worst offensive team in the Top 25.

State is also very talented but just hasn't put it together against the better teams they've played late. If they do, they'll be a pain in the arse. Arkansas is a mess right now but Muss will patch that together and have them formidable soon.

Florida and Texas A&M are playing decent ball and can beat you on any given night as well.

I was going to reply but this is the most accurate summary I have seen regarding secbb to date. I also agree that Arkie will be a very different team by year end. The pieces look there and I believe Muss will get it together.
