Poll Patrol



Kentucky once again was dominant as they crushed Tennessee at home and then went on the road and destroyed South Carolina.  This week Kentucky is 1st in the AP and the Coaches Poll.  Florida is 8th and 7th while Mississippi St. is 20th and 18th, respectively.  Last weeks numbers are in parentheses.

Team                    RPI             Pomeroy           Projected Record
                                                                           (Total and SEC)
Kentucky              5 (5)                2 (2)                 27-4         13-3
Florida                  17 (19)            14 (16)             23-8         11-5
Vanderbilt             28 (24)            31 (27)             21-10        10-6
Miss St                 32 (36)            69 (73)             22-9          9-7
Alabama               31 (38)            25 (27)             20-10         9-7
Mississippi            52 (40)           104 (115)         18-12         8-8
Arkansas               59 (42)           75 (70)             20-11        8-8
LSU                       74 (85)           89 (96)             17-13        7-9
Auburn                  130 (131)        164 (162)         16-14        6-10
Tennessee            142 (155)        103 (110)         13-17        6-10
South Carolina      159 (162)        139 (143)         13-17         5-11
Georgia                 126 (113)        151 (142)         13-17         4-12

The big mover this week is Florida who beat Vandy for their 7th straight win.  They will come into Rupp on Tuesday and endure their second SEC loss though.  Mississippi took a tough loss at Alabama in double OT and will need a few more quality wins to get in the tournament.  Arkansas as well did nothing to help themselves this week as they lost at LSU.

Locks: Kentucky, Florida, Vanderbilt, Mississippi St., Alabama
