Until we can get to the official tip-offs of every team in the country, the world will continue to be flooded with pre-season rankings lists. Today, ESPN’s Andy Katz ranks the strength of each conference in the country, ridiculously picking the Big 10 as the best. Personally, I’d go Big 12, but Katz likes the mediocrity even level of play in the Big 10 which, interstingly enough, was held against the SEC last year and rewarded in the Big East. Speaking of the SEC, here’s what he had to say.
5. SEC: If the SEC was putting forward just the East division, the league would be higher on this list. Remember, the SEC had just three teams that made the field last season and would have had only two if Mississippi State didn’t win the conference tournament. Kentucky is a candidate for a No. 1 seed. Tennessee, Vanderbilt and South Carolina should all make the field if each team lives up to its potential. Florida is the dark horse, as the Gators are still an unknown because of all the newcomers. Mississippi State and Ole Miss are likely the only two NCAA contenders in the West. That gives the SEC a strong five to seven candidates for bids, but probably only one for a top seed.
Here is the full list:
1. Big 10
2. Big 12
3. ACC
4. Big East
5. SEC
6. PAC-10
7. Mountain West
8. Conference USA
9. Atlantic 10
10. Missouri Valley
11. West Coast
12. Horizon

Andy Katzhead Sucks. The SEC will have 6 or 7 teams in the Tourny depending on what Florida and Bama does.

I can’t believe their beloved ACC is third!!! Andy Katz or my barber….hmmmm, who’s more reliable in picking a pre-season poll?
The only thing worse than the pre-season polls is the backtracking and rationalizing the pollsters do once this all starts.
…and yes, 13-33 were pretty good.

The Big 10 is overrated and no way the SEC is 5th. The SEC will be top 3.
