Jerry Palm on the SEC

This from CollegeRPI'com's bracket guru:

"There has been a lot of talk about how bad the SEC is this year, and I'm among those who believes it is bad. But just how bad is it? Leagues prove their worth out of conference, not in conference. The SEC's nonconference RPI, currently .5391, is the worst by a major conference in my 16 years of tracking the RPI, edging out the .5395 posted by the Big 12 in 1999.

"I realize the formula was different back then -- the home/road weightings weren't in place, but you still get the idea. This isn't just a bad year for the league, it's historically bad."

I suppose all that southern speed doesn't help on the basketball court...

This makes my day. Backs up what I've been telling LSU fans all season.

LSU still might be a Sweet-16 team

But they will most likely be the sole SEC team to have that distinction this year.

If LSU faces a team with a decent big man, they're done in the first round.
