I think Alabama is better than UT unfortunately and it will come down to us playing in the Airplane Hangar and seeing Broome get 4 fouls in the first 3 minutes,
I think we split with them but I’ve thought that since November.

Put us at 16.

It's a safe bet we'll finish dead last.

Its a safe bet that Florida won't finish better than 6th or 7th at best.
SEC Schedule did them no favors - Tennessee is the only one of Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi State, and Arkansas to have to take a return trip to Gainesville.
I see Florida losing at least 6 SEC games, meaning 6th is probably their ceiling given the other easier schedules.

It's so weird to me. We have 3 top 10 wins, yet I think we are going to be somewhere between 5-7 in conference play.
Our defense is poor at best and so I see Auburn, Tennessee and Alabama feasting on us, and I suspect we lose to teams like Ole Miss as well.

We’ll be at Rupp for our matchup.

We are planning on winning at least one SEC basketball game this year...

That will be a dog fight for sure. I like the team Pope assembled with little time, but I keep thinking we are going to have problems, but 12-2 with 3 top 10 wins should convince me otherwise, but somehow I'm not yet.Posted on 1/5/25 at 10:05 am to Hugh McElroy
1 Auburn
2-5 bama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida(tough to distinguish who will come out of this group)
6-8 Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Miss St(A&M might be the best of this group but they could steal a match from each other or one of the teams above)
9-12 Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Georgia(Could still make tournament)
13-16 Vandy, Texas, LSU, South Carolina

Watched both UT/UA and AU/UM (along with a shitload of other great games) and I'm not sure I'd move Auburn to the top spot over UT. On the road and housing a ranked conference opponent was a much better showing than piddledicking around at home against an unranked conference opponent.
ETA: Whoops...UT was at home, weren't they? Ah, well, the relative performances still don't justify putting AU at the top.

If Alabama doesn't turn the ball over 20 times a game, number 1 will be between Alabama and Auburn. I don't believe UT's highs are as high as Alabama and Auburn's. Alabama dropped 107 on the Sooners yesterday and showed what it can do when it cuts out the insane amount of turnovers.

No 7?

That dang Butler loss keeps me from thinking State has a chance to win the conference.
Butler hit everything they threw up and we had an off defensive night on the road. That’s going to happen a few times on the road in the SEC and a couple at home.
Whoever has the easiest road schedule among Auburn, Alabama and Tennessee should be considered the favorite.

While I doubt the SEC gets all 4 #1 seeds, I think there will be 4 teams that will have an argument for a 1 seed (Auburn and Tennessee getting #1 seeds, Alabama and Kentucky finishing with records that would justify #1 seeds as well but probably getting #2 seeds)

Considering Alabama and Auburn play each other twice, Tennessee probably has a SLIGHTLY easier path. They get Alabama at home but Auburn on the road.

Auburn and Tennessee also play in Nev. I would heavily lean Auburn wins that one and takes a potential tie breaker if there was a tie.

Yikes!
With the SEC's OOC success, it's not out of the question to lose 8 conference games and end up with a 3/4/5 seed. It'll be interesting to see how seeding shakes out come tournament time.

Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee each have 9 away games remaining. All will be tough to beat at home so the road schedules are the key.
Alabama's average road game NET is 29.66, and they play both Auburn and Tennessee on the road.
Auburn's average road game NET is 36.00. They play Tennessee at home but have Alabama on the road.
Tennessee's average road game NET is 27.55. They host Alabama but travel to Auburn.
Auburn has the easiest path amongst the would be contenders, but not by a large margin.
Just for my personal interest, State's average road game NET is 31.66 but they play Alabama, Tennessee and Auburn on the road. State is about to go into a schedule stretch where they play 5 of 6 against ranked teams and then later in the season they have a completely different stretch of five straight ranked opponents. Im sure others in the SEC have similar issues.
If a team manages to go 6-3 on the road this season, I'd wager that team wins the SEC.
