Message: [QUOTE="GamecockFam, post: 4765774, member: 10934"] My ranking: I struggled with #1-3 because there is just so many unknowns with LSU, South Carolina and Tennessee. It's no question that LSU is loaded but I question the team chemistry and right fit for their roles. South Carolina is filled with All-Americans but they are inexperienced. Tennessee has a good mix of returning experience and portal grabs but I question Harpers ability to make the right decisions in close games. I'm going against the grain...my prediction is that LSU has a season like Tennessee has last season (or the NY Liberty this year) where they look out of sorts despite having a loaded roster. They have moments of brilliance paired with games that make you wonder what the heck is wrong. South Carolina is legit but loses a few games as the leadership and experience is building. Tennessee isn't as good as those two teams but they have a steady SEC slate that puts them on top with no surprise losses. 1) Tennessee 2) South Carolina 3) LSU ^---1-seed potential---^ 4) Mississippi State 5) Ole Miss 6) Texas A&M ^---top 16 / 4-seed potential ---^ 7) Arkansas 8) Alabama ^---NCAA tournament bid potential---^ 9) Georgia 10) Vanderbilt 11) Florida 12) Missouri ^---NIT bids potential---^ 13) Kentucky 14) Auburn I believe the SEC is going to have a really good year. This conference is more loaded than I thought! [/QUOTE]
