The tier 1 teams IMO are LSU, Auburn, and Kentucky. The tier 2 teams IMO are MSU and UF. I think all these teams still have a chance to win it. I know USCe, Arky, Bama, UT, and A&M all have a shot, i just don't think they have the roster to win it.
LSU faces a harder schedule in the second half of SEC play. They have to go to Auburn, host Kentucky, go to Bama, go to UF, and finish off at Arky. I think they drop 2-3 of those games and finish off SEC play at 15-3.
Kentucky schedule doesn't get any easier in the second half, they have a few cup cake games in Vandy & Ole Miss. But, they have to go to LSU, to UF, host MSU, and face Auburn again. I think they lose 2 of those games. I'm expecting Kentucky to finish at 14-4.
IMO, Auburn has the easiest schedule to finish off the year. Their loss to Alabama in first half of SEC play may come back to haunt them. The championship could be decided when LSU and Auburn meet on 2/8. Auburn does have to go to Rupp towards the end of the year. That will be a huge game for them depending on the out come of the LSU game. I think Auburn finishes at 14-4 with a loss to either LSU or Kentucky, then drops a game to one of current 4-4 or 5-3 teams.
State is red hot right now, they could easily go on a run and make things interesting. Also UF has one of the most talented rosters in the country, i'm just waiting for them to turn it on.
Whats the SECr thoughts on who will win it? It's going to be a fun second half of SEC play.

At least Tennessee will get an extra home game in the NIT

Not aubie, Kentucky may though.. seeding is very important this year imo, if LSU or Kentucky can clinch a 2 or 3 seed that's huge for the tourney

State's schedule is REALLY easy after UK

No we don’t.
But I appreciate the moral support
. My guess?
LSU, Auburn. And Kentucky finish 1, 2, & 3–in that order.

After their mid-week game vs Vandy coming up, LSU could easily lose 3 out of the next 4 after that. Theyll end up with 4 or 5 losses

Our strengths travel. LSU isn’t winning because of streaky shooting. I’d be shocked if we don’t hammer Alabama again and Kentucky in BR just isn’t that scary. I’d be shocked if LSU ends up with 5 SEC losses

I picked you to win. Why the attitude?

I can see LSU with three conference losses but not five. LSU plays really well on the road

Barring a serious injury to a starter LSU will win outright or share the SEC title...again.
Impressive.
Impressive.

Y'all are a solid road team. Like y'all don't appear to have any drop off away from home. Auburn struggles a lot on the road.
But I don't think I would go so far as to say y'all play "really" well on the road. Just looking at y'all's recent road games and it really isn't all that impressive tbh
2 point win @ Texas vs a mediocre longhorn team
4 point win @ Ole Miss. They have an impressive and hostile crowd there, it's a hard place to play and obviously AU just got out of their by the skin of our teeth ourselves. But Auburn is a team that's known to struggle on the road, so to say y'all are a "really good road team" seems like y'all should be beating them by more than that.
4 point OT win @ Texas A&M. Had to hit back to back last minute 3s to even get to OT. A&M is probably the least talented team in the SEC right now. A win is a win, not taking away from that and this game shows resiliency, but again it's funny how yall are a "really good road team" but did basically the same thing here that AU did @ Ole Miss and we fully acknowledge that we suck ok the road
14 point win @ Tennessee. That actually is a really good win, bc despite Tennessee's lack of talent this season that's still a difficult place to play and they're still well coached
2 point loss @ USC

Call it what you want but we’ve won 13 straight SEC road games (well after Vandy Wednesday)

Factor in that these same players except watford went undefeated on the road and you can throw out the “its just the schedule argument”. Plus in your own words LSU doesn’t appear to have a drop off away from home and all those trap teams we have already beaten at home. I just think your crazy to see us dropping 4 or 5 down the stretch with how we are playing.

That's awesome, very impressive. But 10 of those 13 are from last year and don't mean shite in the context of games coming up this season. And the 3 y'all have played so far weren't exactly the most daunting. Don't be surprised to see that streak end on Saturday
Posted on 2/2/20 at 11:13 am to BowlJackson
K. Don’t be surprised when LSU waltzes out of there with a W Saturday. See how that works?

Why are you getting so defensive?
Posted on 2/2/20 at 11:18 am to BowlJackson
Why are you trying to wish 4-5 losses on to LSU?
Oh that’s right because they have a 2 game lead over you
