I happen to have a lot of respect for SEC schools. Yes, we have seen them a lot on our schedule the last few years (I think it began after we played Ole Miss in the NIT Final Four), but I think it's indicative of the SEC trying to bolster its non-con credibility by scheduling up. If that's the reason, I hope it helps them get into the tourney over teams who practice the American Express scheduling strategy (Don't leave home...). Whatever the case, you have to admire their willingness to come into a challenging environment, unlike some other "elite" conferences <cough, cough> Big East...ACC...
