NCAA Coaches love Kentucky and Florida in 2014-15. The rest of the SEC? They're not so sure about those guys.
The top-ranked Wildcats and #7 Gators were the only two teams from the Southeastern Conference to earn a spot on the USA Today Preseason Coaches' Poll Top 25. Arkansas (#38) was the only other SEC team to earn votes.
Kentucky and Florida are currently the only two ranked teams that grace Vanderbilt's 2014-15 schedule, but they'll have the opportunity to face #8 Virginia should both teams win their opening round game in the Barclays Center Classic. The 'Dores will also play two teams that received votes from the coaches: Arkansas and Baylor (#47).
