Interesting that we're ahead of Kentucky to start. Would really like to see that series turned around.
Here is the SEC predicted order of finish: 1. Alabama 2. Auburn 3. Tennessee 4. Arkansas 5. Texas A&M 6. Florida 7. Texas 8. Kentucky 9. Ole Miss 10. Mississippi State 11. South Carolina 12. Georgia 13. Missouri 14. LSU 15. Oklahoma 16. Vanderbilt
Obviously biased, but with the experience on this team and likely the best backcourt in the SEC, I just don't see how Florida is 6th in the SEC. I think the people who made that list are just going off status quo opinions. UF has a better roster this year and against the teams ranked ahead of us, this is what happened last year: 1. UF slapped Bama around last year winning 2 of 3 and the one loss was in OT. 2. Split with Auburn and would have beat them twice if it weren't for Micah's catastrophic injury 3. Tennessee was clearly better than UF last year 4. Beat Arky the one time we played 5. Split series with A&M and the game we lost was by 1 point.
