Voters' thoughts after the jump.
Alabama
Regardless what tournament Bama plays in, it's been a successful season for the Tide.--Alabama Basketball Blog
Arkansas
The Razorbacks are my surprise pick to win a post season tournament you have never heard of.--A Bulldog in Exile
Auburn
Apparently not as overwhelmingly crappy at basketball as LSU. Who knew? How'd they do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing.--Dawg Sports
Florida
Gators are by far the SEC's best chance to make it to the Final 4. Sorry UK fans I just don't trust Calipari.--The ACC & SEC Blog
Georgia
The Dawgs should dance, but a loss to Auburn in the opening game of the SEC tournament will make the Dawg Nation very anxious next Sunday.--A Bulldog in Exile
Kentucky
Hold on to first based on the strength of their resume. Earned the bye with solid wins over Vandy and Tennessee.--Anchor of Gold
LSU
Welcome to the cellar. The whole truly is lesser than the sum of its parts for Trent Johnson's team.--A Bulldog in Exile
Mississippi St.
The ninth best statistical team in the SEC is the West's two seed (and bye recipient). Enough said about restructuring the way the tournament is seeded.--Anchor of Gold
Ole Miss
Oh, the humanity! Losing to Auburn in the last week isn't what Andy Kennedy needed. I predict his wife files suit against Tony Barbee next.--A Bulldog in Exile
South Carolina
Frustration flows...--Leftover Hot Dog
Tennessee
Need a strong SEC Tourney showing to quiet the doubts.--Leftover Hot Dog
Vanderbilt
Not the way you want to end the regular season. Really looking for the team to get it together with a somewhat easy path to the SECT Semis.--Anchor of Gold
