SEC in the Rankings

A somwhat volatile week in the SEC. Florida continues their steady rise into NCAA Tournament contention, while Tennessee slips a little further back in the seedings. I think we have four clear NCAA Tournament teams now - Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Florida, and Tennessee. Some might argue that Florida is still near the bubble, but I think a 1-2 finish should keep them in there since their remaining schedule is very RPI favorable.
What's wrong with the SEC West? Shouldn't Mississippi or Mississippi State have run away from that nasty junkyard dog pack by now? I actually think State might still do that, but now is definitely the time.
Numbers for your consideration ...

RE: The SEC West
I’m most impressed with Arkansas’s surprise ascension to the top and then immediate dismantling. It’s pretty unpredictable out in Fayetteville right now. That team worries me for Saturday’s game – Vandy always plays badly against UA, and has been terrible this year against bad, but dangerous teams. The combination of the two could spell trouble.
been keeping up with AoG
I only really respect one SEC school – Vandy. I’ve enjoyed the blogging. Very good stuff. Hope y’all see some success in the Tourney as you deserve it more than your mouth-breathing conference brethren.
I spun around... and there I was, face-to-face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass.
