preseason coaches poll. Can’t vote for your own team, so 12 coaches voted Mizzou somewhere, and with a total of 15 points (minimum possible is 12 points if every other coach picked us to finish last), looks like 9 coaches likely picked us last and 3 picked us next to last. Here are the results:
1. Florida
2. Georgia
3. Tennessee
4. SC
5. Arkansas
6. LSU
7. Kentucky
8. Alabama
9. Auburn
10. Miss State
11. TAMU
12. Ole Miss
13. Mizzou
Some thoughts. After Florida, I think you could throw the next 8 teams in a basket and not be shocked at what position they finish in. SC and Arkansas used to be permanent residents of the worst 4 teams in the conference, now they are legitimate contenders for a top 4-5 finish in the SEC. Strange to see Alabama and Auburn picked so low. It’s hard to see any of the bottom 4 teams breaking into the top 8-9 in the conference. But something tells me we won’t finish last, and could surprise a lot of people, and by surprise I mean finish somewhere in the 8-10 range in the conference. Maybe that’s wishful thinking.
