BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Arkansas men's basketball coach John Calipari was far from the only coach to express confidence in the SEC at the league media day Tuesday.
And for good reason.
The SEC has nine teams ranked in the preseason AP Top 25, the most of any conference. It is rated as the country's top league in KenPom's Net Rating. Seven of 247Sports' top 20 transfer classes are in the SEC.
Texas and Oklahoma are expected to add more depth and talent to a conference that has all 16 of its members in KenPom's preseason top 100 — one of only three with that distinction.
