See what the voters had to say after the jump.

Alabama

Anthony Grant's buzz is a lot quieter right now than it was a year ago.  Amazing how moving up in competition can do that.--ACC & SEC Blog

5 blown double-digit second-half leads and 4 losses at the buzzer in SEC play alone. No doubt the league's most frustrating team to watch.--Roll Bama Roll

Arkansas

From the NCAA Bubble to the NIT Bubble in three weeks or less.--Rocky Top Talk

LSU? Really?--A Bulldog in Exile

Auburn

Have glimpses of something but just not a complete package to compete this year.  Lebo might be shown the door.--Leftover Hot Dog

Team is playing better to end the season, but it may not be enough for Lebo.--Alabama Basketball Blog

Florida

Tough closing stretch: vs. Vandy and at Kentucky. Does being back on the bubble make them more dangerous?--Anchor of Gold

Nice to see the Gators have not learned from the last 2 failures of a season. Losing at Georgia after destroying Tennessee is embarrassing. Chandler Parsons (18ppg, 8rpg in last 7 games) is not.--Alligator Army

Georgia

Of Georgia's nine SEC losses, seven were by single digits. They are better than you think. Trey Thompkins will cause problems for Patrick Patterson and DeMarcus Cousins Wednesday in Athens.--Alligator Army

The cardiac Dawgs finally pull one out.  Will they be able to do that at a neutral site?--A Bulldog in Exile

Kentucky

They shot 2 of 22 from beyond the arc and still erase a 19 point hole on the road.  One shooter away.--Rocky Top Talk

You had to know they were due one more SEC road loss. You can only play with fire so many times without getting burned. Still on track for the league title though.--Roll Bama Roll

LSU

Tigers finally got a win, but I told the poll they had this spot on lockdown so they stay.--ACC & SEC Blog

The Tigers beat Arkansas but not good enough to get you out of the SEC basement.--Leftover Hot Dog

Mississippi St.

The Vols did them a huge favor by beating Kentucky, making the season finale in Starkville and even bigger opportunity.--Rocky Top Talk

These Dawgs are making the tourney.  Can they make a run with this lineup?  Only if Varnado can keep scoring and blocking.--A Bulldog in Exile

Ole Miss

The Rebels need a run in the SEC Tournament to have a shot at the Big Dance.--ACC & SEC Blog

Team is living on the edge with these second half comebacks.--Alabama Basketball Blog

South Carolina

The Gamecocks are only four players away from being a top notch SEC team.--ACC & SEC Blog

Devan Downey probably still has a few tricks left up his sleeve...but does he have the energy left to use them?--Anchor of Gold

Tennessee

As good of a job as Pearl has done this season, he damn sure tried to hand the game on Saturday to Kentucky.--Alabama Basketball Blog

The Vols have beaten Kansas, Kentucky, and lost to Purdue by a point.  One of the great stories of the college basketball season.--Rocky Top Talk

Vanderbilt

Survived UGA while still hungover from loss to UK. Short turnaround not a problem for Dores vs. Razorbacks.--Anchor of Gold

After sweeping UT, I'm not going to knock them off the #2 spot.--Roll Bama Roll
