Don’t think I have ever seen the likes of where the SEC is this year. Come tomorrow most likely will have 5 of the top 7 spots in the AP poll.

Nobody has. Because there’s never been another season where the SEC so dominated the rankings. It’s crazy.
This is the first year I can ever remember where one could fairly say that the SEC is better in basketball than football.
If the NCAA tournament seeding was today, the SEC would have three number one seeds. Tennessee, Auburn and Kentucky.
I understand why Tennessee’s resume didn’t make you blink in comparison. Who can question a team with wins over Baylor and Illinois?
Yeah, if UK isn't a 1 seed if it started today then idk who is.
Come tournament time SEC records will look much different. I really hope the committee remembers the SEC dominance in the preseason. I think the top teams in the SEC this year will have between 5-8 losses in league play. The team that wins the conference will protect their home court and win half their away games. be something like 8-1 at home and 5-4 away. 13-5 probably will win the conference. So, will say a 25-6 SEC team be a #1 seed in March?
Yeah this. How many times have we heard about Conference X being the most dominant and then shitting the bed in the tournament?
Actually it would be the top 5 if it went buy the BPI. And S curve we hear so much about that has shafted UK on seeding year after year. According to ESPN if you look under the Resume it’s has 5 SEC teams as the top 5
ESPN BPI
1. AUB
2. TENN
3. ALA
4. UK
5. OU
They have Florida as the top over all 3 seed after that. I’m also well aware it’s only December.
My question is does the SEC get the the Big 10, Big12, ACC treatment and the conference is so tough the losses don’t hurt. If that’s the case could the SEC take most of the top 16 when March gets here. We have 10 or so teams that could take the Conference the key is going to be winning road games. The million dollar question is how bad do they punish a team to losing on the road. If the home teams can win out.
I’ve been watching and following CBB for 30 of my 38 years alive and other than the 03-04 ACC which had less members this makes this years SEC feat even more impressive as there was a higher probability of more losses.
None the less this year is going to be fun to watch but yet again stressful at the same time.
