    Tennessee is the clear favorite to start the season.
    Arkansas easily returns the most non-Chris Lofton Talent with tons of good big men and Patrick Beverley
    Mississippi St. has an excellent back court with Jamont Gordon and Ben Hansbrough.
    Florida has had some of the best recruiting classes it's not a question of 'if' they'll be good, it's just when.
    Vanderbilt - two words - Shan Foster - My pick for SEC player of the year
    Kentucky has some good talent and a coach that has been able to do wonders turning teams around, imagine what he can do with 2-Pat and Ramel Bradley
    Ole Miss - Williams and Curtis are probably the 2nd best front-court in the SEC. Andy Kennedy will do good things.
    Auburn had some solid wins last season and are very experienced. Their lack of big men keeps them from the top.
    South Carolina lacks scorers. Dave Odom has been able to work magic in the past, but he can't get good players in Columbia.
    Alabama would be so much higher if Ronald Steele was playing, but he's not. It's all up to Gee and Hendrix, I just don't see good things for this team.
    LSU has slipped mightily since their Elite Eight run 2 years ago. Tasmin Mitchell is their only good player.
    Georgia only has Sundiata Gaines. It could be a long season for the bull dogs
    
    The west is pretty weak and the top 6 are really the only teams that will make any noise this year. All of the top 6 should get in the NCAA Tourney this year and Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi St. should be dancing for more than one weekend. Kentucky is WAY overrated this season.
