I was ready to hold my hand up and start chowing down on a crow sandwich. Last week, I boldly proclaimed that Alabama basketball was back as the SEC favorite. The Crimson Tide immediately proceeded to put in its worst performance of the season in a home loss to Ole Miss.

Woof. Like Alabama, I’m still getting used to navigating the nation's toughest schedule. But if you notice, I’m not spitting out feathers just yet.

Just when I was ready to start writing with my tail between my legs, the Tide went into Rupp Arena and recorded its second straight top-10 win on the road over No. 8 Kentucky. All of a sudden, my original proclamation doesn’t seem so silly.

Regardless, snap judgments just aren’t going to fly in this season’s SEC.
