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, Iā€™m still getting used to navigating the nation's toughest schedule. But if you notice, Iā€™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 doesnā€™t seem so silly.

Regardless, snap judgments just arenā€™t going to fly in this seasonā€™s SEC.
