MSU is so bad

SEC setting up for a photo finish with Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, and Tennessee fighting it out for the title.

Auburn has been struggling on the road, but they still have the inside track to win it all.  The Razorbacks are playing awesome--hard to believe that they lost at home to Vanderbilt earlier in the year.  That could be the difference.

Auburn is 13-3 and the other three are 12-4.  Remaining games:

Auburn: @Mississippi State, South Carolina
Arkansas: LSU, @Tennessee
Kentucky: Ole Miss, @Florida
Tennessee: @Georgia, Arkansas

Arkansas has very favorable tiebreakers, as they're 1-0 against each of the other three (with the final game against Tennessee still to play).

I think Tennessee has the easiest path here, no offense to Auburn who have been incredible this year, but something rubs me the wrong way about that game against MS ST. on the road. That's a real solid team down there in Starkville, and I don't wanna say it'll happen, but my gut feeling is Tennessee wins the conference regular season title.

After Liberty misses a game-tying three, Bellarmine will have the opportunity to play spoiler in the ASUN Tournament championship as has happened in this poorly constructed conference a couple of times now.

Jacksonville is obviously in with a win, relishing the opportunity to get to their first Final Four since 1970. (*eee-eeee-ee-eeeeee*)

If Bellarmine wins, the bid goes to Jacksonville State (no relation). (*cooooock-a-doodle-doooooo*)

Liberty and Jacksonville State may be departing, but they will leave the conference with two new powers joining FGCU at the top.

Bellarmine made the jump from D2 to D1 what? 2 years ago and they're competing for a conference tournament. Sadly, they're not allowed to participate in the NCAA tournament because they're in the transition period between D1 and D2, but this is good for the future of the program. I'd say Bellarmine has a good shot at winning the CBI this year though.

Is Loyola Chicago even good enough for an at-large bid?

Not only this but they're opening up bets on Loyola Chicago -1 against Ohio State which is... strange

MSU played our best game this year and we were simply out talented by Duke
