Oklahoma may have been more consistently ranked over the years (barely), but if you value Championships at all, there is no way that OU is ahead of Bama....

re: Question of success in basketball

My opinion.... NCAA Tournament success trumps everything 1. Elite 8 2. SEC Regular Season 3. SEC Tournament I'd probably even take a Sweet 16 appearance over an SEC Title, but that's just me....
The time of this is pretty funny. Get beat by your arch rival in their world class arena, and the next day go out and decide to copy said arena. Don't get me wrong, I wish Georgia would follow the same blueprint as well. But its amazing what your program slipping in comparison to your arch riva...
Georgia last. Yep, formula looks legit....
My vote is Auburn. They've proven over time they have the capacity to come back from what appears to be a program death spiral to a magical season in very short order. For example: 1991: 5-6 1992: 5-5-1 1993: 11-0 and a #4 finish 1998: 3-8 1999: 5-6 2000: 9-4 SEC West Champs 2...
I think Cal is lashing out because he knows his program is currently not up to historical Kentucky standards. Based on what I can tell, only 8 times in Kentucky history has another program played even or better with Kentucky over a period of 7 seasons or longer.... 25% of those occurrences are cu...
Just did the math. Since the 2018 season, here are the SEC records for each program: .679- Kentucky (57-27) .651- Tennessee (56-30) [b].643- Auburn (54-30)[/b] .627- LSU (52-31) .575- Alabama (50-37) .561- Florida (46-36) .541- Arkansas (46-39) .536- Miss St. (45-39) .438- S. C...
I agree that being #1 at some random point in the regular season doesn't produce much value unless its followed up with a Big NCAA Tournament performance. However, this Auburn basketball renaissance appears to be on a more solid foundation compared to some of the flukier successes other SEC progr...
[quote]One writer dropped us from 1 to 3. I guess he thought we should have beaten Kentucky by a larger margin.[/quote] Where did the guy that had auburn 9th have auburn this week?...
Congrats. Well deserved. If there is one bright spot to Auburn's recent basketball success, it is that it shows the rest of the ADs in the SEC that with the right amount of investment and the right coach, any program can in fact win and win big. Auburn's turnaround is the blueprint for succes...
Kentucky is the standard for basketball in the SEC. Everyone knows that. Not sure why UK fans feel the need for validation all the time. Were AU students more pumped up for UK coming to town than other opponents? Absolutely. Is all the hype for the game due only to Kentucky? Absolutely not...
[quote]I will be at the game. I’m pumped![/quote] It's a shame that Auburn and Kentucky don't play twice this year... with Pearl at Auburn, its becoming arguably the premiere game for the conference each year. From 1990-2016, Kentucky went 31-1 against Auburn... winning 21 of those 31 by doubl...
[quote]Switch it to UK/Tennessee or even UK/UF and these would make some sense if they did it that way. You can do geographical rivals in football but the SEC needs to present it's best teams in basketball as much as they can[/quote] I agree those are better matchups. But I imagine the state of ...

SEC Basketball Scheduling after Expansion

Posted by BHMKyle on 1/21/22 at 12:14 pm
Has anyone heard the plan for SEC basketball scheduling after Oklahoma and Texas join the league? My guess is we'll go to a 15-1-2 game format **All teams play all 15 other teams at least once **All teams play 1 extra game against a rival, annually **All teams play an extra game against 2 ro...
A monster game for sure. Going back the past 10 seasons.... I very well could have missed one... but as far as I can tell this will be just the 8th time that two SEC teams met in the regular season both ranked in the Top 15.... and this will be the 3rd biggest matchup in terms of combined AP rank...
[quote]$3 million is a lot.....[/quote] Yeah no kidding. Probably why he's not signed with any team yet....
Rumor I heard from an AU grad in my office was that his handlers were demanding a $3 million NIL deal. Coworker told me Auburn had the money ready to offer between $1-$1.5 but they turned it down. Holding out for $3 mil. Not sure how true that is but it seems legit considering he's still just s...
We're in our 31st season of SEC basketball since Arkansas and S. Carolina joined the league, here are how many championships each program has since then: 29- Kentucky (13 RS, 16 SEC T) 10- Florida (6 RS, 4 SEC T) 4- LSU (4 RS, 0 SEC T) 4- Miss St. (1 RS, 3 SEC T) 3- Alabama (2 RS, 1 SEC ...

[quote]How can Alabama be 100% with their loss to Missouri?[/quote] I'm not sure their methodology, but I would imagine wins over Gonzaga, Houston, Tennessee, and Florida have a lot to do with it. Not to mention four of their six losses are Quad 1...

[quote]Kentucky has no business being a 3 seed yet. Beating a very average tennessee team like that is fools gold.[/quote] I think they are playing well and will end up a 3 or 4 seed. I think at this point, if there is one team other than Auburn that can win the SEC regular season, its Kentucky....
