I know it’s only December but I am bored:

Auburn
Tennessee
Kentucky
Arkansas
This is a terrible list I know

Very down year

Auburn’s a lock

Your list looks pretty good to me

Florida or LSU may sneak in

Hard to say since the season has yet to start, but I think LSU will make the tournament and host a regional

People were saying we would get 8 teams in at the beginning of the season but the SEC has had some very bad non-conference losses this year so I think 5-6 is the ceiling

I think Auburn and Kentucky are probably as close to locks as we have. Would of had Tennessee here before the Turner news.

Possible?
- Florida
- Tennessee
- Arkansas
- LSU
- Mississippi St
- Ole Miss

Long Shot?
- Alabama
- Georgia
- Missouri

No Shot?
- South Carolina
- Texas A&M
- Vanderbilt


Nobody has really built up a bullet proof OOC schedule, so it really all comes down to the SEC schedule for everyone. And looking at teams as of right now, I'm not seeing a ton of separation between 1-12.

Kind of feels like a year where a ton of teams beat the shite out of eachother and we have a whole lot of teams with SEC records of 10-8 to 8-10.

Yeah just an awful year. There’s talented teams but Auburn looks like the only real contender to me

You've played 3 Top 75 teams and are 0-3 in those games (all against mid-majors)

So I'm going to go with no, not yet you aren't.

Well that would be quite a turnaround. And that’s not just based off of the last game.

USC wont and its disappointing because Frank raved about our talent. very much so time to move on from him.

UT, LSU, Auburn all have made better hires recently, and while Frank was once a big name, he just isnt. he cant recruit worth shite and we are forced to watch from home.

Our defense will carry us, but our offense is so bipolar right now.

TBH Georgia isn’t in an awful position.

I don’t think we will make the tournament, but unlike most SEC teams, we don’t have a loss to a really bad team.

We also don’t have any solid wins. (SMU May turn out to be a good win)

If we have a decent conference record, we have a good shot.

Seems like Arkansas is a mirror image of Auburn then this year. Our offense sucks but our defense is one of the best in the country

You guys have played 1 Top 100 KenPom team so far and you lost.

I'm not saying you suck or anything, but your schedule has been very friendly.

Why so friendly to KenPom? RPI tanks Kentucky, KenPom still throats the cock.

And a team like UK at 17 isn't? We're over a 3rd of the way through, KenPom is just an abomination and means absolutely nothing.
