This is prolly a fair assessment. Thoughts?

Seems about right. Before I read the article I tried to rank them in my head, and was a bit surprised to see Missouri at 3, but then again I really don't know a thing about them.
Good find. +1

Thanks for sharing. I haven't seen the arena at Missouri, but I would put TB at #2 behind Kentucky. Overall, 3-4 sounds correct.

The craziest rating in there is Alabama at No. 10.
Bama's a better program than THAT, even if the fans really don't care all that much.

I would put TN at number 3 but only because we have Martin who I think will have more success out of Memphis and because of that "new" recruiting base it makes us number 3 in the league. Hope that makes good sense. Not sure if that is fair because I guess you are suppose to take the current coach out of the equation and base it on the program only but with Martin I just think memphis becomes a larger part of it and thus that puts TN at #3

#10 Bama and #11 MSU sure seem like better programs than #7 UGA. While I agree the state of Georgia is loaded with bball talent too.........they do nothing with it.

Florida has had a lot of success but In all honesty I wouldn't put them at #2. They are severely limited by their facilities and if it weren't for CD they wouldnt be a serious contender. CD is special.

Must agree with this. I think they are looking at it from an overall perspective of the job as coach. GA is more talent rich than AL or MS. You are right though. We have been consistently bad most of my lifetime. This is one reason I am not a BBall fan.

Probably correct on ratings. Three through five depends on who is hot at the time. In Coach Pearl's best years TN probably would have been three.
