SEC Basketball Program Rankings this Decade (00-09)

1. Florida - 2 National Titles, + Final four, and multiple SEC titles and tourney titles = obvious choice

2. LSU - (okay I just ducked), but LSU has THREE SEC titles, won or tied the SEC West 2 other times, have a final four and 5 NCAA tourney appearances (including this year). Granted, the other 5 years were mostly abysmal, but only Florida matches LSU's accolades in those 5 years. Not to mention 3 POY award and 3 FOY awards

3. Kentucky - Probably Kentucky's worst decade ever, but better than most teams best decade. A couple of SEC titles, and made the tourney (almost?) every year. But no final fours and few deep tourney runs.

4. Tenn - After winning the SEC in 2000, pretty abysmal until Pearl. Even since then, nothing overly special.

5. Alabama - LSU-lite. Very inconsistent, but even the great years weren't that special

6. Miss State - Some pretty good teams in the early part, but overall pretty blah.

7. Arky - I guess. Been a while since 40 mins of hell.

8. Vandy. Made the sweet 16 once or was it twice?

9. SC. A few decent teams.

10. Ole Miss. Nice 2001 team, but nothing special.

11. Auburn. 2000 was a big disappointment. All down hill since

12. Georgia. A few decent teams could put them much higher than this, but when their best season was halted due to infractions, that doesn't help.
