Message: [QUOTE="SimpleDawg, post: 3219556, member: 9267"] Here's my prediction: [U](13-3)[/U] 1a. Mississippi State 1b. South Carolina 1c. Texas A&M 3 best teams last year. None of them should be upset in their conference more than once, at most twice with the talent that they have. Average team in this conference has one or two great players.... these 3 should have at least 5 with room to spare. If there's one of those who can win both the head-to-head games, they will be SEC champs, though SC plays both their rivals at home. Not sure if we play A&M twice or not, but if we play them only once..... it'll be in Starkville. The crowds at Columbia and Starkville are fierce, so Texas A&M is disadvantaged by that one extra rough wind they have to sail through. [U](11-5)[/U] 4. Tennessee I think with Warlick the team beat themselves a lot last year. With KJH, she might not elevate them in her first year, but I don't think she'll screw them up either, so 11-5 sounds about logical to the tune of the talent level that they have. [U](10-6)[/U] 5. Arkansas 6. Auburn I think Auburn is not getting enough credit. Not that I think they'll be elite, but I bet they'll be stronger this year with a solid nucleus of 3 or 4 players. Arkansas should be on the rise.... they can't play defense but they have enough offense to possibly give those 3 upper tier teams a good fight scoring 80/90 points. [U](9-7)[/U] 7. Kentucky I think Kentucky like Missouri will dive a little. I think both Kentucky and Missouri will be around 9-7/8-8. Both can win those low-scoring ugly games. Though at least they have that and were good at the physical contact/turnover battle game at times last year. But I think they'll be too low scoring to win consistently in this league. [U](8-8)[/U] 8. Missouri 9. LSU I think Tiara Young could offer some points and be like what Vivians was to Mississippi State in her first year, but the team probably isn't strong enough collectively to win more than that. I also think that applies to Missouri outside of one player, maybe two. Missouri lost 4 out of 5 of their top scorers so I don't expect they'll be that hard to beat for teams like A&M, MSU, or SC. [U](6-10)[/U] 10. Vanderbilt 11. Ole Miss I think Ole Miss is showing signs of improvement in their "decent" recruiting some ranked players probably passed over by bigger schools. I think they'll improve. Same for Vanderbilt, except they'll improve by 4 whole games. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [U](3-13)[/U] 11. Georgia I think Georgia will dive the most.... I think they're headed towards irrelevant. [U](2-14)[/U] 13. Alabama I think they'll be worse, or at least no real forward movement so they'll slowly drift down flatly. [U](0-16)[/U] 14. Florida Gone their top 2 scorers, I think they'll be restroom soap. ...
