Gamecocks will make the tourney.

Something will happen. Unless everyone ends up 7-11 to 10-8, there will be at least two teams that don't get to five SEC wins.

I'm thinking 7 will get to the NCAAT this year for most teams.

I think Bama will be a 1 seed when it is all said and done.

I think the conference will cannibalize itself too much

Honestly, I'm sort of worried about that too.

It's all fun to think about now, but when we're beating the crap out of each other in late January and the rankings are all over place, this probably won't be as entertaining.

The NET takes SOS into consideration obviously, but someone has to lose these games, and it's going to drag us down collectively just by playing, I'm afraid.

3 SEC 1's? That sure is a turn around.

SEC men's basketball gonna be warfare this winter.

My theory is that SEC ADs never really prioritized basketball because the recruiting structures are even more corrupt and apt to get your football program slapped harder with repeat offender status by the NCAA.

The fact you can just engage with the basketball recruiting structure as it exists, legally, and the NCAA cannot do anything about it has changed the game. SEC schools are going to outspend some of these schools who operate on the fringes because many major football programs made pragmatic choices on NCAA risk factors.

Hogs say hello.

Calipari will be in the Big Dance,
