#19 TAMU: Started just 8-3 against a decent, but not great schedule, they lost a ton of players through graduation and transfer. Lost to 3 unranked teams already, North Texas, Liberty, McNeese St. the latter two are decent teams. They also beat Liberty 1-0, McNeese 3-1, and a mediocre Rutgers team 7-6. They could easily be sitting with 5-6 losses already. Picked 11th in the SEC, seems about right. Not a top 25 team IMO.

#20 Auburn: They were picked 9th in the SEC, and that’s about right. Maybe even a spot too high. They started 7-3, against an awful schedule, and still managed to lose 3 games to unranked teams, Mo State, LA Tech, and Texas Tech. They look nothing like a top 25 team so far.

#21 Kentucky: They had a really rough start, against a pretty challenging schedule. Were 4-5 with losses to unranked Illinois and Houston, and also ranked Ok State 8-7, Texas 4-3, Oklahoma 9-1. Then caught fire the last 2 games, crushed 22 Oregon 12-3, and whipped 25 James Madison 6-1, beating their AA ace Megan Good. Nice turnaround. Still 6-5, against a much tougher schedule than many SEC teams played. They were picked 7th in the conference, which is about right, could see them in the 6-8 range, not top 5 though.

Miss State: Started 6-3, no significant wins, 2 bad losses to SF Austin and SIU. Best game was playing #5 Washington close in a 7-5 loss. Bottom 4 in the conference seems right, anywhere from 10-13.

Ole Miss: Started 6-3, against a pretty tough schedule. Beat a good Minnesota team 3-1, beat undefeated Oregon St 2-0. Lost to two ranked teams, Ohio St 4-2, UCLA 4-0, also to Boise St 6-4. I think they are better than both Miss St and TAMU. Still going to be hard to break into the top 8 in the conference.
