SI’s Davis Says Three Unranked SEC Teams Could Make Noise In March

As we’ve noted the past two days, the SEC doesn’t stand up well against other conferences in terms of RPI ratings.  And that fact could hurt the league’s NCAA Tournament bid hopes comes March.

But Seth Davis of SI.com believes three unranked SEC teams might be dangerous in the Big Dance… should they land invites.  And those dangerous teams are:


1.  Tennessee — “… Do not sleep on this bunch.  If nothing else, they will surprise you every time.”

2.  Georgia — “… Any team that has two projected first-round draft picks has a chance to play deep into the NCAA Tournament.”

3.  Vanderbilt — “Their four losses this season came by a total of 17 points, and two ended in overtime.”


But he isn’t high on every SEC team.  Asked by a reader about Florida, Davis answers:


“I don’t think they’re difficult to understand at all.  They’re just not very good.”


Ouch.
