Number of SEC teams in the top 25 of various sports:
Baseball: 8
Football: 7
Golf (M): 6
S&D (M): 5
T&F (M): 8
Golf (W): 6
S&D (W): 7
T&F (W): 6
Gymnastics: 6
B-Ball(W): 5
Softball: 8
Men's Basketball: 2 WTF?!?!?!
Way too much talent in SEC states to have only 2. Seriously, given the dominance in almost every other sport...2 is pitiful. Mizzou included.
And if some of those numbers are off, IDGAF. Took most of them from the NCAA's website and sometimes I forget how to count.

I blame Missouri and LSU.

We could Blame UF just the same. You have only contributed in only one of the big 3 so glass house and all

Yeah, the SEC dominates almost all sports areas, but almost all the schools are going to place more emphasis on their basketball programs.

we're ranked in every sport but Gymnastics (we don't sponsor the sport) and Men's Hoops. Some of y'all need to step it up. We can't do everything

I honestly just don't get it. There is a shite load of talent in SEC states. I know there were a lot of coaching changes in the not so distant past, but....2??????

it's fricking pathetic. I'm especially upset about our hoops situation because we spent the better part of 6 years ranked at all times til Kennedy showed up. It's not just that we're bad, we're not even fun to watch.

You think that's frustrating? I started going to Alabama games from the time I was in kindergarden and from that point until I graduated from Alabama we only missed the NCAA tournament 3 times. Alabama also made it to 6 Sweet 16s during that stretch as well. Now we struggle just to get on the NCAA bubble.

I think it's more an issue of coaching at this point. Mark Fox actually starts coaching like he has a pulse and Georgia is sitting at 3rd in the SEC.
The funny thing is for as terrible as the SEC can be in basketball, the teams that do make the tournament typically make decent runs.

SC is top 5 in.
I think we're also ranked in one of the golf's and maybe tennis but I can't be entirely sure.

The longer you are in this conference the more you will realize the SEC is NOT a basketball conference.. Sorry to upset you
It's football & baseball in the South

Why do you think they are the top 2 for most ranked teams per sport & basketball is last

FIFY
No reason basketball shouldn't be up there.

Dunno. That's what I'm wondering.

I agree. No excuse we should be better (and we spend the money). It may just be a mentality. I remember when I was in HS and Alabama was ranked like #2 in the country in Men's BB and they cut away from the basketball game to show the spring practice football game of a fairly mediocre Bama football team.

Hate to burst your bubble
It would be nice to dominate all sports but basketball is a long shot

You're right it doesn't make sense. And I think it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The rest of the country and the media loves to perpetuate it but us as SEC fans are helping them.
"The SEC is so good at football that they must be horrible at basketball."
The SEC is not a good basketball conference, but how much worse is it than the ACC or the Big-10 this year? There is a lot of parity IMO. Few elite teams. Florida is one of them, best team in the country that I've seen.
As has been said, though. Our bubble teams that probably won't make it aren't just pushovers. Mizzou or Tennessee could get in and win a few. Even LSU can even look as good as anyone some nights, and then look as bad the next.
