See some of the voters' reactions after the jump.
Alabama
This isn't a make or break year for Anthony Grant, but after two seasons it will be interesting to see where the program is headed.--Dawg Sports
Arkansas
Mike Anderson will improve this team over the course of the season. They should be a tough group come March.--Alabama Basketball Blog
Auburn
We'll find out about that fancy record real quick: at Vandy, home to UK to open SEC play.--Rocky Top Talk
Florida
Fantastic offense, but they have to defend somebody.--A Sea of Blue
Georgia
Only two victories over opponents ranked better than 100. Sell.--A Sea of Blue
Kentucky
It's Kentucky's world; we're just living in it.--Alabama Basketball Blog
LSU
The Bayou Bengals are 10-4 and just played a solid Virginia team tight late into the game. I don't exactly know how to process this, but I'm intrigued by it.--Dawg Sports
Ole Miss
Too much talent on hand for the continued struggles. Kennedy's days might be numbered.--Alabama Basketball Blog
South Carolina
They look better since Ellington returned to the team, but hard to forget the early struggles.--Alabama Basketball Blog
Tennessee
Close games every night so far. Might have to settle for that in Year One with Cuonzo Martin.--Rocky Top Talk
Vanderbilt
I voted them 4th based on overall body of work, but what they did at full strength at Marquette was as good as any non-UK team has looked all year.--Rocky Top Talk
