Hogs fan here. The top teams in the SEC this year are all impressive, come conference play we are all in for some very, very good basketball. Major nod to Bama so far for their schedule.

Arkansas fan here, my opinion Alabama and Arkansas are evenly match, should be a great game when they play each other

[jamesneutron]

I’m a hogs fan but you could honestly make an argument for bama at number 1 rn

[aubreybarnes]

Don’t know what happened to Kentucky but they usually get better through the season. Arkansas, alabama, Tennessee and auburn looking good

[Steven-mkgg]

As a Hogs fan, there really isn't much of a non con comparison between us and Bama. We have played a couple really good teams, but Bama has had some stiff competition.

[rustyhenry]

Did y'all see what Arkansas did the San Jose State and second half I think we've got a real shot this year

[brianfletcher]

I'm all out Hog here. I comment when I can and Always praise you Guys. Arkansas looks Very good; can't say ENOUGH about Anthony Black as a Freshman and Ricky Council IV. Only thing is I hope when Nick Smith joins us, A. Black continues to run the offense and they let Nick Smith turn into a scoring machine . Devo Davis has GOT to stop playing so erratic. It's insane how outta control bro gets..
Respect to Alabama though. 4 overtimes against #1 and never faded. Looking like a Very Tite Group. Kentucky will get there game going. Great teams love to bounce back with a vengance

[bulljiver]

Alabamas non conference schedule is insane

[umbreonix]

So proud of how far sec hoops has come in the past few years

[ts]

Hog fan here. Bama should be 1 with that schedule. Once we get Smith back we may get to 1.

[fleyedd]

Bama fan here much respect to the Hogs fans in the comments, great sportsmanship, y’all’s team is nasty too and so is Muss. Roll Tide!

[lagronemikal]

Bama starting freshmen and playing others off the bench. As this team plays more and more together they are going to be TOUGH come March. Looking pretty good already. Big wins over Mich St and UNC. Coming up, at Houston, Memphis, Gonzaga, at Oklahoma and the SEC slate. Nate Oats has a team of guys he wanted to run his system. Looks like he's onto something.

[connster]

Appreciate the shoutout, Blake. 👊🏼 Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas are all playing well so far. I look forward to see how they all continue to go against upcoming marquee matchups. I’m also keeping my eye on how the new coaches do with their respective teams.

[mikelholloway]

A little late to this but even as a hogs fan I have to say in my opinion bama has earned the top spot in my book.. so far that is.. GO HOGS!!

[DonovanGG__]

Blake you’re the star of the show let me tell you

[thegreatfin]

I'm going to be honest I wasn't fully on board with Gates when he was hired but the more I have learned about him the more I like him and it has been years since I have enjoyed watching Mizzou basketball this much

[scottcrawford]

Arkansas is the best put team together in college basketball…an

[TheArkDoc]

Blake, dude, you have the best teeth--just sayin'. And I approve of your rankings, but might have Alabama up a notch right now.

[garybryson]

I understand having USC at the bottom. They have some injuries right now, so hopefully they can get well and make progress.

[davidgibson]

As an Ole Miss fan, I'm just glad we aren't the Vandy of basketball.
