What can we expect from the SEC this year?
I think the conference looks something like this:
1. Florida - possible NCAA title
2. Georgia
3. Texas A&M
4. South Carolina
5. Alabama
6. LSU
7. Vanderbilt
8. Miss State
9. Ole Miss
10. Tennessee
11. Arkansas
12. Kentucky
13. Auburn
Georgia has 3 very strong freshman and with Bryde, Henning, and Loeb they can finally go for the title.
Texas A&M seems like a team that will not lose to anyone except Florida and Georgia, but Florida and Georgia will crush them.
Alabama and South Carolina have very good players at the top of the lineup, maybe they can make something out of this season.
Ole Miss could be the surprise of the season as well as Miss State. Both teams have young players.
LSU and Vanderbilt have some experience in their teams. They could have a solid year.
This could be one of Kentucky's worst seasons in a while. The roster looks terrible.

Agreed 100%I think you are underselling Kentucky here big time.
Definitely a tough away game for the Gators. But, considering they have former top 20 ITF junior players playing 5 and 6, along with guys like Crawford, Riffice, Andrade, and Ingildsen I simply cannot see them losing to any team in the nation, so although I agree that College Station is a tough place to play, the Gators will cruise.Agreed 100%
Also, Florida might not win the SEC this year. Florida has to go to TAMU, right after playing LSU on a Friday night. College Station is a very difficult place to play and TAMU team is very good as well this year.
Should be more like Florida at 1, TAMU at 1.5, with Georgia by itself in the next tier and everybody else after that
I think so too. They have some great freshmen that I was not aware of. I saw they beat Notre Dame 5-2. Kentucky could end up somewhere around 7-10 in SEC.I think you are underselling Kentucky here big time.

If they put Ingildsen on 3 in that lineup, outcome could be completely different... once the national indoors and SEC start, we'll see how good Gators really are. Pretty much the same team did not lose one match in SEC last year.Well, they have their first loss already, but yeah I think there are only a few teams in the nation capable of beating them this year, and I don’t have A&M on that list
Arguably A&M has the tougher match two days earlier and will come into that match with less in the tank

Yeah I have no idea why he didn’t play singles vs Texas, I’d guess some minor physical issue they didn’t want to aggravate early in the season but who knows

The fact that I cannot see them losing to any team going further is just my point of perspective emphasizing Florida's strength with full line-up once the serious SEC/NCAA competition matches start which has nothing to do with the already finished matches. Also, I was referring to the SEC Regular Season, thank you for your kind comment. Vale has played before and could play this year again on 5, and I apologize, Lukas Greif (#63) and Will Grant (#76) are the ones I was referring to. Ingildsen also had a win at Wimbledon. My mistake for over-hyping Florida's bottom of the lineup.We we are certainly capable to losing to other teams in the nation since we already lost to Texas on our home courts. And we did lose an SEC match last year, we lost to Tennessee (they are in the SEC) in the semifinals of the SEC tournament.
And we don't have any top 20 ITF players playing 5/6. Crawford, Riffice and Vale were all top 20 ITF and they play 1/2/3.
Good tip, I figured all this our by using the internet, give it a shot sometime.
I absolutely agree. IF the Rebs stay healthy then I think we can expect them in the upper half of the SEC. The problem happens if only 1 player gets injured, then Wilson or Rios will have to play and then the Rebels look much weaker. From the first 2 serious matches this year we can already see that the Rebs simply depend on Finn Reynolds.Another fantastic match by the Rebels, but they came up short in the third set tiebreaker last match on. Big match coming up Friday at home against Oklahoma State. Somehow I don't see them finishing 11th in the SEC, but who knows what will happen between now and then. They will have to stay healthy for sure, because they aren't that deep.
Excellent win by Ole Miss on the road and great for the SEC. To be fair looked like Illinois was missing their 5/6 players but injuries are a part of the long season. Would be great if they can win today again.
Too bad about Alabama losing to Dartmouth.
Looks like Ole Miss is better the Memphis again this year.
Wow Napoleon complex is too much for you. Just join the SEC already and show us what you got! BTW. The Rebels upset OSU 4-2 with impressive clinch from sophomore Hain on #2.Although ranking did not help OM the last 3 losses to Memphis, I generally agree on your ranking point. Many major conference coaches like you agree that if a non P5 school can take you down it’s better to hide from them.

Realistically, sometimes it simply does not make sense to play a team like Memphis. The risk and reward for the Rebs simply does not add up to play Memphis. I definitely understand your frustration and that is why I suggest you to start a petition to join the SEC and that way we cannot avoid you and we have to confront you. Think about how many great matches Memphis would play then. Would Memphis be a powerhouse then?? I think so.You started it by endorsing match dodging. I’d give you some credit for your last response if it wasn’t anchored by ignorance.

Since you did not appreciate my ignorance, I thought you would appreciate my sarcasm.They are scheduled for Arkansas, LSU, Vandy and UK. Petitioning the SEC, it doesn’t work that way.

The Rebs are playing incredible so far in the season!! I also think the SEC ranked them way too low at 11. The Rebs will definitely finish higher than predicted. Still do not see them beating Florida, A&M, Georgia, Tennessee, USC, or MState. As per my prediction earlier, I still have them finishing at 7.Ole Miss just won the Blue Gray Championship with back-to-back 4-3 wins, first against Princeton and then Alabama, in the championship match. I think they will definitely finish higher than predicted in the SEC.
As a Vol fan I’m looking forward to seeing if we can upset you on your home courts again this year. But I think you have the stronger team... But you had the stronger team last year.....Tennessee are my nightmare. I never think they are that good but they beat us last year. Not sure how. Wonder if their coaching staff wants to be Gators?

Ouch! We were 1pt away from ending your ncaa tourney. Instead our player double faulted and then your guy won the next 2pts. Look forward to this years battle. Let the SEC matches begin! See you in Gainesville in a few weeks!That’s why they beat the Vols 2/3 times last year, yes, Gators had the stronger team
Gators beat you on your own courts on the way to SEC season championship, and ended your season in NCAAs on our courts
That’s nice you won the middle one that didn’t result in either team winning the SEC tourney
Looking forw

I think they could beat Mississippi State this year if they stay healthy. But the others you mentioned will be difficult to win for sure.The Rebs are playing incredible so far in the season!!

Yep! Good luck! They are beatable on the lower courts.Georgia looks really strong this year. Going to be tough for the Rebels on Friday for sure.
