Honest question, how good are these SEC teams? I don’t get to watch much as I live out of the country. Are they alll legit top 10-15 teams in a normal year? If they weren’t getting this SEC love and constant top 25 opportunities, would they all be top 25 teams if spread out in other conferences?
Definitely not as good as the rankings and metrics say they are. I have watched a lot of their games. I have bet many games from this conference. Each of those teams like Missouri, Kentucky etc on a good day look awesome. I have won some great underdog money lines with them. But they all started so high it only helped the entire conference all year. It even made Auburn, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee seem so much better than they are as they are beating these "quad 1" teams. Now I'm not saying they are not really good teams those teams.
I actually think Florida is the best team in the country not named St. Johns.
Texas A M, Missouri and the others that are ranked or just outside behind the 2-4 top SEC teams are the same to me as Uconn, Marquette, Creighton, Xavier, Villanova from us but you wouldn't think it by looking at rankings and metrics for sure.
I do think the bottom of the league is much better than their records indicate.

SEC Killed their OOC schedule... unreal record... and BE sh*t the bed...
I'm not really sure how it would work, but it would be a lot of fun if there was a midseason tournament (NIL prize) with the P5 conferences + "1-2 at-larges". It'd be a good way to do a midseason check, and generate big ratings.
The SEC is the best and deepest conference in basketball this year. Does it mean they have the best team? I think Florida, Auburn and Bama could qualify. Their Conference Commissioner challenged them to not just be the best football conference but upgrade their basketball programs to become the best their also. They have risen to the challenge.
Alabama, Auburn, Tenn and Florida are four GREAT teams.
The rest of the SEC.. eh. Texas A&M has talent, but they will be overseeded and depending on the matchup, are my sneaky pick to get upset in the first round.

And is by far the BEST baseball
conference in the US.
Some of the top teams yes. The rest have some good wins and some they lost so not a slam dunk after the top teams.
We certainly lost to baylor and georgia. Uconn although they have some good wins lost in maui so that stands out.
Cant wait to see SEC fail or thats my hope in tournament.
Too bad for the Regular season champ, Towson, great season down the drain.

Overrated by the corrupt committee and will receive more bids, at better seeds, than they deserve.
Don't get me started on the Mountain west and Big10.
I had over 137.5 in that game. It went over with 8 minutes to go(!). Fun game.
Marquette really carried the load for us in the OOC… with how the Rankings stand now- the are the only team of the top 5 to own a Top 25 OOC win (3- Maryland / Wisc/ Purdue)
SJU / UConn / Creighton / X… 0
