The SEC appears to be on the cusp of one of its greatest seasons in recent memory – and not just because of Kentucky. Sure, the Wildcats will be strong. Most prognosticators predict John Calipari's squad will enter the season as the second-ranked team in America behind North Carolina. But Vanderbilt and Florida should also be top 10-caliber teams. And Alabama – fresh off last season's appearance in the NIT title game – is worthy of a ranking along with ultra-talented Mississippi State.
