Every SEC sport needs a Paul Finebaum. Football can no longer play well enough to justify poll share so we are buying basketball votes now? I am curious which SEC team in the current Top 25 will be left out of the tournament.. Bets anyone?
Florida shot 40+ free throws, to Kentucky's 20+. My opinion, refs kept Florida in game last 12 minutes. Example a called a 3 point foul on Lamont Butler, on Florida's point guard that went for 33. Butler didn't touch him with one finger. Commentators, said it, and instant replay showed it. Didn't touch him.
Florida’s players were initiating contact on every single drive to the basket. Some of those should have been fouls, sure, but not ALL of them. The game wouldn’t even have been close without the refs keeping Florida in it.
@MrSupremeo I agree with on Kentucky's offensive end. But as a coach, player, or fan, you just hope that refs call it on both ends of floor. I just think it wasn't, they could called few more fouls in Florida when they where on defense. Few baskets by Kentucky shoulda been a and 1 , and they just didn't call it. But how ball bounces sometimes.
As a Kentucky fan who has no real investment in that rivalry, I am happy to see Texas A&M beat Texas. A&M has been in the SEC since 2012, so I’m a little more partial towards them than Texas. Similarly, I was happy that Georgia beat Texas twice in football this season. I don’t want Texas and Oklahoma getting cakewalks, and I am confident they won’t in SEC basketball. This is the golden era of the SEC, and it’s just snuck up on us with little warning. I’m loving it
I’m a Vandy fan and love the rating, but I agree with Chris that it’s still a tad high. We’ll have a much better idea of how good the team is after the MSU game. That’s a tough test.
Imagine having no losses, only 1 game within 15 and that was a road win against the B10 favorites and being powered ranked second to a team that has no road wins and a lost their only road game. Just insanity.
Probably bc 1)auburn has played a much tougher schedule, if tenn played auburn’s schedule they’d have at least 2 losses, and 2) using the eye test if u watch all the games auburn is clearly better
I don't see why so many fans are so down on Tennessee, Seriously. They are a good team, the SEC is good anyone can beat anyone but that's just basketball in general, but everybody just seems to think beating Tennessee will be easy. Barnes is a defensive coach, that's his philosophy, win Defense first and get points off Turnovers and ball pressure..Could we lose at Florida or anywhere else? Absolutely, but so could everyone else. Go Vols!!! 🍊
Bama highest ceiling for sure, y'all nailed it. That roster is 10 deep with really really good players. It's just a matter of finding the right minutes and starting rotations. Oats will get it down, and I think by SEC tournament time Alabama is the team you hate to see on your side of the bracket.
As Kentucky fan, I agree with these rankings. Even top 5. But, I love our chances vs Alabama, on neutral. court. Of course home teams should win. Kentucky gotta start rebounding the ball better. Gonna hurt every night in sec.
Not saying UK should be 1 or 2 but if beating 3 top ten teams. Including one of those teams being Duke, the team that beat your number one team. That’s enough to be a solid 3 in your rankings? Interesting.
UK beats 3 top 10 teams and there's not a lot of separation between 4 and 7? GTFOH I guess beating Duke, Gonzaga, and an undefeated Florida doesn't help your resume with these 3 goofs. When you look at UK and it says AP 3-0 those AP teams were in the top 7 🙄
@Feelsbadman23 Oh, an Auburn fan wants to talk about the past as well, huh? Auburn has 1 Final Four. Let's talk about Tony Barbee or Jeff Lebo or Cliff Ellis. Or a win loss % against UK of 20%. Everyone has amnesia until UK loses 🤔
Dude Florida didn’t play anyone good til Kentucky so you can’t tell how good Florida really is yet. As far as I’m concerned Florida should not be in the top 10 til they face more good teams
3 top ten teams lost to uk. Same record as bama but bama has no top ten wins. Absolutely horrific to put kentucky at 4. I love you guys. I'm going to continue to support you. And i love this channel. But you guys wet the bed by putting kentucky at 4. I would at least ask you to reconsider. Because I'm so mad now I'm about to shove all these papers off my kitchen table. Three top ten wins vs zero top ten wins.
@@Bravesfan12345 3 top ten wins undefeated against top 10 vs a team who has no wins against the top ten. Including same record bama has. You're not good at debating
Plus bama lost by 9 to a average to bad purdue team. And has no top ten wins. With the same record as team B but three less top ten wins it's a no brainer kentucky should be ranked higher than bama.
No it isn't. Their first top 10 matchup will be Tuesday. They haven't really shown they can beat the best teams out there yet. Just a bunch of middle of the road teams.
@@JeremyMattingly-j1w there is not a single place besides the AP who says TN is better than Auburn. Auburn has performed at a generational level thus far…TN has at least 2 (probably 3-4) losses with Auburns schedule. Auburn is a true world beater and TN hasn’t proven it.
@@j.connormartin4409 let’s go by what we know instead of what’s if’s. How about that? Tennessee is unbeaten and just blasting folks while lost to Duke. How can you reward losing? Do I think Auburn is better, probably so, does their record show that? Why no it doesn’t yet.
I said I agree with rankings. But ..... I think I gotta give Tennessee the edge over auburn on neutral court. Watched tenn and Arkansas tenn coulda won by 30, easy
Tennessee is undefeated and has 4 wins agains 10+ win teams, have only 1 win of less than 15+ points. Auburn has a better win against Iowa st but every other team they get props for beating has 3-6 losses each
@ we could just use the coaches poll, the one where guys who coach the game that’s played vote on who they think is best. Don’t look now but they think Tennessee is #1 as well
Diaper dandy’s are great but OU has had four players score at least 20 in a single game. I’m hoping that humbling @ Bama will put a 🔥 under Sooners a$$ to make those shots on the road. But mostly what OU needs to do is defend home court. I’ll be @ the Lloyd Noble tomorrow for TA&M game cheering them on.
They will still be #1 in the AP poll. I think TN is really good. I do want to see them play a team with a top defense though. That would remove any doubt from my mind. As I say that, Illinois defensive rating has gotten pretty good. So that's one. Interestingly, they had trouble in that game.
WAT OTHER TEAM IN SEC HAS STACKED TOP 10 WINS???? CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP???? THERE ISNT ONE OUTSIDE KENTUCKY!! 1ST YEAR COACH WITH A TEAM HE PUT TOGETHER WEEK BEFORE SEASON STARTED WITHOUT 1 NOT 1 SINGLE PLAYER COMING BACK..
