Arkansas
"If this team learns to play some defense, they could be an SEC darkhorse."--Alabama Basketball Blog
Auburn
"A close road loss to Illinois and a home win over Florida State suggests improvement."--Alabama Basketball Blog
Florida
"Class of the conference so far."--A Sea of Blue
Georgia
"Dawgs have started winning games they should be winning. The next step is being the team that should win games instead of lose games."--Georgia Sports Blog
Kentucky
"Getting better fast. Beware."--A Sea of Blue
LSU
"Weak non-conference schedule, but they did win the games they should. "--Alabama Basketball Blog
Mississippi St.
"With all of the roster hits, 10 wins will be an accomplishment for this team. "--Alabama Basketball Blog
Missouri
"Probably their ceiling without Dixon. Will fight to avoid being leapfrogged by UK and Ole Miss."--Rock M Nation
Ole Miss
"Will have to really come together and bring some things into focus to stay up in this tier."--Rock M Nation
South Carolina
"Great record against the third easiest schedule in all of Division I. Average opponent rank is 236."--A Sea of Blue

Texas A&M
"Those good wins are not as blinding as that loss to Southern."--Georgia Sports Blog
Vanderbilt
