Alabama
Nice home win over Kentucky, although I don't know how you score exactly the same number of points against Kentucky and Auburn in the same week.--A Bulldog in Exile
Arkansas
Before 40 minutes of hell comes back, maybe Arkansas should first concentrate on playing for 20 minutes.--The ACC & SEC Blog
Auburn
Will they or won't they? We say they will, but with Bama game now in the rearview mirror, if they do, no one will be there to see it happen.--Roll Bama Roll
Florida
The tempo-free numbers say the Gators are still a bit of a paper tiger. They've got a head start on first in the East. Will they last?--Anchor of Gold
Georgia
Their RPI isn't as high, but I think they definitely belong with Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Vandy.--Rocky Top Talk
Kentucky
Calipari could probably coach Auburn's defense with that kind of language.--A Bulldog in Exile
LSU
Tiger fans beginning to think about baseball.--Leftover Hot Dog
Mississippi St.
This team looks capable of beating only the dregs of the league.--A Sea of Blue
Ole Miss
Shellacked LSwho in Baton Rouge. Maybe they figured something out.--Alabama Basketball Blog
South Carolina
The performance at home against UK suggests they may not belong with the other five in the East...but I bet they'd win the West.--Rocky Top Talk
Tennessee
The refs from Athens did not make it to Hartford.--A Bulldog in Exile
Vanderbilt
Blowing a combined 31 point lead on the road against South Carolina and Tennessee still stings. A lot.--Vanderbilt Sports Line
