Projected Record: 20-10 (11-7 conference)
KenPom National Rankings (SEC Teams)
#3 Kentucky (another year of a bunch of one-and-done freshman and future NBA first round picks...yawn)
#14 Florida (White looks the part and has a bunch of athletic players who play elite defense. If any team is going to seriously challenge Kentucky for the SEC title this season...the Gators are my current pick)
#30 Texas A&M (good but flawed team, will lose some games they shouldn't due to backcourt play, will win some games they shouldn't due to posing some unique matchup problems with their size and length, probably just making NCAA is reasonable goal for this bunch, but if all the core underclassman then come back plus adding a freed Caldwell and some other 2017 young perimeter studs...could be a team in 2017-2018 that takes A&M like Star Trek's Enterprise into the great unknown...at least the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament).
#32 South Carolina (Year 6 of Frank...is this the season he finally makes NCAA tourney? so far so good though that Sindarious Thornwell suspension...how indefinite an 'indefinite' suspension is may play a factor in conference play)
#45 Arkansas (good? not good? good? not good? Maybe the Magic Eightball thingie can decide?)
#63 Georgia (two really good players in Frazier and Maten and then...ummm...some other guys?)
#77 Vanderbilt (lost 2 first round NBA draft picks plus head coaching change, there is some talent on roster but bumpy ride in Year 1 for Drew expected)
#82 Alabama (Year 2 of Avery and not sure what to think yet, but he does have some 2017 studs coming)
#86 Tennessee (Barnes teams seem to play really hard, but undersized and not much talent to work with)
#92 LSU (Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!)
#101 Ole Miss (Andy Kennedy had been on a good run hitting a bit of the lottery with first JUCO guard Marshall Henderson and then JUCO guard Stephan Moody...now he rolled the dice with grad transfer guard Cullen Neal who has produced some decent numbers thus far, but he is no Henderson or Moody. Frankly this team just has not looked very good thus far)
#103 Auburn (good recruiting thus far and in Year 3 of Bruce Pearl, but still struggling to play well)
#121 Miss State (good recruiting thus far, but really bad start to Year 2 of Howland, including some bizarre moments like a freshman oversleeping and missing a game and Weatherspoon's 'out for season' and then back playing 10 days later injury)
#147 Missouri (still firmly holding on to its position at the very bottom of the SEC barrel, this program isn't even a dumpster fire anymore, dumpster fire already burned out awhile back...this is just the ashes now that we are looking at with a bit of smoke)
