• The AVCA has released the first Coaches Poll of the season. Four SEC teams made the list: #10 Florida, #15 Missouri, #19 Kentucky, and LSU receiving votes at an unofficial #32. The Lady Vols will face off against those opponents seven times during the season, as well as unofficial #31 Iowa State.
• The SEC coaches are predicting Florida will win the conference this year, in their annual preseason poll. The Gators were a unanimous pick to win it all. Kentucky came in second, with defending champion Missouri in third — making it a sweep for the East at the top. Tennessee was picked 11th.
• The coaches also announced their Preseason All-SEC Team. Florida led with three selections, while Missouri was the only other school with more than one pick.
• Repeating what I’ve already said this week, be sure to check out UT’s social media accounts. Lots of cool news and photos posted already in just the past few days, including two cool team shots.
