While I think the Big East/SEC Challenge is largely garbage, the SEC got off to a good start with Vanderbilt routing South Florida and Tennessee beating Marquette pretty solidly last night. If Mississippi State can handle Cincinnati and Ole Miss/Huertas can upset Louisville, the SEC will look a bit better all of a sudden.

With the SEC being so down this year, a few good wins like these go along away. I actually think Mississippi has a good shot at Louisville, despite some bad losses (Utah and New Mexico State, notably). Go SEC.
