I made this as an overall ranking for the 2007/08 season of football and basketball in the SEC. The rankings use regular season and post season info for each school's team. The rankings are my opinion but follow record pretty closely. Please post your's if you would like, feel free to point anything out you don't agree with, thanks for checking it out.
One question I have for you guys, should I add any other sports? Oh and please reply to this, I think this could get some pretty good discussion.

Overall
1. LSU(Football #1, Basketball #9, Average #5) - National Championship reigns above all
2. Tennessee(Football #2, Basketball #1, Average #1.5) - 1st place finish in basketball and 2nd in football, they would be first place if not for LSU's national championship
3. Georgia(Football #3, Basketball #3, Average #3) - Football has a NC caliber team next year, after this great year. Alot will not agree with my ranking of Georgia in basketball but they did win the SEC Tourney, their name will always be remembered for that
4. Mississippi State(Football #7, Basketball #2, Average #4.5) - Had a good year in both sports, surprise for football and great thing to grown on
5. Florida(Football #5, Basketball #7, Average #6) - Florida, boy are they stacked for some more Championships, next year in football and the coming years in basketball, in my opinion Florida is one of the best if not the best athletics programs right now
6. Arkansas(Football #6, Basketball #6, Average #6) - Basketball looked good, football shone bright at moments under D-MAC
7. Kentucky(Football #9, Basketball #4, Average #6.5) - Surprise year for Kentucky football under Woodson and a bowl win against FSU, bad start for Kentucky basketball but they did well in conference and still made tourney, Gillispie should have the Cats playing good.
8. Auburn(Football #4, Basketball #12, Average #8) - Good year in football, bad year in basketball
9. Vanderbilt(Football #11, Basketball #5, Average #8) - Once again another good year for Vandy basketball, a decent year for football, a Vandy bowl appearance could be imminent
10. Alabama(Football #10, Basketball #8, Average #9) - Good start for Saban but slow finish, I expect good things from Alabama football in the coming years, basketball saw a year plagued with injuries so they should rebound
11. Mississippi(Football #12, Basketball #8, Average #10) - Not a good year in football with 0 conference wins, the basketball team performed great and should have future success
12. South Carolina(Football #11, Basketball #10, Average #10.5) - Rough year for South Carolina, I expect success to come under Spurrier. Hopefully Odom's replacement can help fire this basketball team up
Thanks for reading this guys, please reply and let the discussion begin....

SEC Football/Basketball Combined 07/08 Rank
Posted on: February 5, 2008 4:16 pm
NCAA All-time Record for Three Pointers
There is an outside chance that Chris Lofton could break the alltime record for 3 pointers currently held by J.J. Redick. The record is 457, Chris Lofton is 75 short with 382. Chris probably could have been a lot closer if he would have been hitting the whole of the season but since the Kentucky game he is averaging 5 a game. Lets take a look at the rest of the season and how many he would have to average per game.
Tennessee remaining guaranteed games (11 games)
February 5 Florida
February 9 at LSU
February 13 Arkansas
February 16 at Georgia
February 20 Auburn
February 23 at No. 1 Memphis
February 26 at No. 20 Vanderbilt
March 2 Kentucky
March 5 at No. 22 Florida
March 9 South Carolina
March 13 SEC Tournament First Round/Second Round because #1 or #2 in East bye
I assume that Tennessee will win a few conference tourney games and will mak
