I tried to comment this morning, but the Rebkell server stuck, or crashed, or something, and ate my post.
Anyway.
Remains to be seen how good SC really is, but they're dang good. So's Tennessee, and I'm pleasantly surprised by something there that I thought was in the works but wasn't sure, the emergence of Kortney Dunbar at the 4 spot. Miss State, Ole Miss, TAMU, and even Arkansas are on the way up. Florida's an unknown quantity; the win over FSU might be a signal...or not. Other unknowns are Mizzou, Auburn, UGA (new coach) and Vandy (all those transfers). Bama is just bad, and it looks like LSU might not be too much better.

OK, I'll bite.
Last season, the SEC was a brutal conference. I don't think anyone would disagree with that. This season, however, it's a bit soon to say how tough the conference will be. Right now, it looks like Tennessee, South Carolina, then everybody else. With Ole Miss and Mississippi State losing key pieces to graduation, I can't see them being as strong as last season (although Miss St is still going to be a tough out). Lots of questions still to answer about the SEC.
Whatever comments any commentators make during these early games now are either speculating based on the past, or just trying to gin up interest in the game they are calling (or future games they may call).
If you want to know my opinion, I think the toughest conferences are going to be the B1G, Big12, SEC, and PAC12 in that order (for now). Maybe switch SEC and PAC10 (again, for now).

In half the games I've seen this season, the PBP announcers haven't even been able to remember which players started the game.
So, some guy not accurately remembering what happened in last season's Final Four hardly strikes me as especially noteworthy, particularly for a school-produced broadcast like this one.

Since we're pointing out errors by the media , someone explain the paragraph below to me , from the ESPNW article on Arizona State . Or am I just confused ? Didn't the players mentioned play on the Pan American Games team , which did NOT win a Gold medal ? The World University roster was different .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Junior forward Sophie Brunner came back to Tempe after spending much of the summer with the best college basketball players in the country, playing for USA Basketball on the World University Games team that won a gold medal. The team included Connecticut stars Breanna Stewart and Moriah Jefferson, and South Carolina's Alaina Coates and Tiffany Mitchell

I met several members of Sophie's family in Toronto - I think there were something like 50 friends and family members. She was definitely at the Pan Am games and did not win the gold.
