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.
