Continue reading for some of our voters thoughts on the teams.
Alabama
I'm a believer. Only Kentucky is more athletic. Only Kentucky has more talent. Only Kentucky is better, right now.--Georgia Sports Blog
Arkansas
Good win versus the MSU Bulldogs. Can Anderson do it on the road against the other Magnolia State team?--A Sea of Blue
Auburn
Bad basektball team. Yeah, I misspelled it intentionally because it isn't fair to the other teams to use the term 'basketball team' when talking about Auburn besektball.--Georgia Sports Blog
Florida
Team will win plenty because of its talent, but must improve defensively if they hope to compete for a title.--Alabama Basketball Blog
Georgia
The 'Dawgs continue to struggle inside, but it's not like they just scored 35 points in a conference game . . .like some teams who play and practice in eastern Alabama and are coached by Tony Barbee.--Dawg Sports
Kentucky
Too much talent, depth and now experience with Miller, Jones and Lamb. If this team loses more than three in conference, I'll be shocked.--Alabama Basketball Blog
LSU
Could Trent Johnson win the Coach of the Year and still get fired? Probably not even at LSU, but they aren't singing his praises just yet.--A Sea of Blue
Mississippi St.
The Bulldogs dropped back into the middle of the pack with a loss to Arkansas. Not a bad loss, but a loss nonetheless.--Dawg Sports
Ole Miss
Seems like the end for Andy Kennedy.--Alabama Basketball Blog
South Carolina
The Gamecocks' 15 point loss to Kentucky is exponentially better than the Rebels' 26 point defeat at the hands of the Bayou Bengals. That's it. That's the best I've got.--Dawg Sports
Tennessee
Biggest upset of the SEC season so far vs. Florida. Can they go down to Starkville and do it on the road?--A Sea of Blue
Vanderbilt
We know Vandy is good, but when will they have that inexplicable loss that just leaves us wondering when Kevin Stallings is going to change hair jells?--Georgia Sports Blog

I wonder if some of these guys
thought this was a football poll? Bama as number 2? Really?
I’ve praised Bama on these pages for (a) admirable scheduling and (b) winning with young players. But I haven’t forgotten that 1-4 stretch in early December where the Tide dropped to Georgetown at Coleman, then away games to Dayton and Kansas State.
The Tide are a top division team, but victories over Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech and Georgia do not justify the second position in this power ranking at this point. The next four games (hosting hot LSU; traveling to Starkville to take on MSU; hosting Vandy; then a trip to Rupp), however, will show whether Bama should be considered in the upper-most echelon of the leagueif the Tide. My gut is that the Tide will be lucky to earn a split, but could just as easily go 1-3 or 0-4 in this stretch (not a prediction!)
Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee! UNIVERSITAS CAROLIN MERID. 1801 Emollit mores nec sinit esse feros (Ovid)
