If I had to pick, I would say Bama. But that is why they play the games.

I think Tennessee might be the best team but their schedule is tough

Winner of Bama/UT will be champs. Just a matter if someone else is co champs with them.

Decided Saturday in my opinion. If the Vols win at Bama the do no worse than split the last 2.

I'd probably presume Auburn, considering how easy their remaining schedule is as opposed to Tennessee's and Alabama's.

If both Alabama and Tennessee go 1-2, and Auburn 3-0, not sure how the tie-breaker goes...

If you are tied for 1st you are co-champs. No tiebreaker. Tiebreakers are just for tournament seeding which doesn't matter much within the top 4.

at the end of the 99 - 2000 season the SEC had a (4) way tie for the conference championship:

Tennessee/Kentucky/Florida/LSU

I like Alabama because they get Tennessee at home, but there are some losses to be had. Auburn has it the easiest, and South Carolina probably has it the hardest.

Alabama
Tennessee
Auburn
Kentucky

get the byes IMO

I really like this Auburn team. They played Tennessee really tight last night despite the home court disadvantage and Super Man going Ape Shite. But I hope all SEC teams go far in the tournament.

Based only on those preseason odds, the SC coach should get the SEC COY award.

We’re happy to be here, not satisfied. Kinda funny though because I read any message board (rupp rafters, volnation, etc) or listen to national pundits it’s still “SC is frauds, overrated, they suck, etc.” there’s literally 3 games left, we’re good and not a team that is an easy out. Pretty sure we have one of the best road records in the league/nation…that translates to tourney….

We’ll most likely not be the sec winner, but can the boys get some damn respect…

Lol what.

@UT & @UGA/Ole Miss are great and solid road wins respectively. But after that what makes it so special?

You beat a struggling Arkansas (12th) and beat the last place team Missouri in OT?

Lost @Clemson

And let's not forget the blowouts @Auburn and @Bama.

The SEC is the best basketball conference this year. So many teams are making it to the big dance. BAMA should not be in this race given the talent overhaul this season but here we are. Shout out to Coach Oats.

BAMA is very capable of getting the double dip. SEC Champs in Football and Basketball.
